Pasta salad to go? Sure, of course. Our easy pasta salad is perfect for a barbecue, a hot summer day at the lake, a picnic, office lunch or camping. Make this salad and take it anywhere this summer. Good Appetite.
Creamy vegan dressing for pasta salad
The mixture of vegan mayonnaise, mustard, garlic and fresh dill results in a creamy dressing. If you want to make the dressing a little spicier, add a few chopped jalapenos. These give an extra peppery kick. You’ll probably think the dressing is a bit greasy if it’s freshly made. Rest assured though, once mixed with the pasta and all those fresh yet crunchy veggies, it will be mild.
For the veggies, you could also use a mix of your favorite veggies. However, I like the combination of celery, bell peppers (regardless of whether they are red, yellow or green), red mild onions, tomatoes and black olives. If you don’t have any small tomatoes on hand, use regular tomatoes and core them beforehand.
