Pasta salad recipe
Pasta salads are always popular whether they are served warm or cold. They are an excellent food to take to work or for picnics or days out where a packed lunch is needed.

Pasta salads are a favourite for the whole family and children in particular love the different shapes of pasta that are on offer in our supermarkets.

Pasta salads can be as healthy or unhealthy as you like, as it is not the pasta that is fattening, but the ingredients that you may choose to add to it.

Pasta comes in all shapes and sizes and we typically use pasta spirals, twirls, bows or shells in our pasta salads. Nowadays, pasta is even available in different colours where it has been tinted with vegetables such as spinach.

Pasta is an incredibly versatile food to which you can add almost any ingredient in order to create your own original pasta salad. In our recipes we include pasta with seafood, chicken, tuna or solely vegetables in order to show exactly how much you can do with pasta as an ingredient.

We have tried to include pasta salad recipes for all tastes that incorporate a wide variety of ingredients and flavours. Pasta often features a lot in Mediterranean cuisine and some of our recipes reflect that.

Salads made from pasta are generally very filling and so they can be eaten as a main meal or as a starter in smaller portions. Why not try our Mediterranean pasta salad recipe with grilled fish such as sea bass or sea bream, or our mushroom pasta salad with cold roast meats such as beef or chicken? For fish and seafood lovers, our crab pasta salad and our tuna and tomato pasta salad may be more to your taste.
