Pasta and asparagus salad ingredients

Noodles: I used plain spelled croissants because they were just about over. But just about any shorter variety of pasta or whole wheat pasta will work. So if you have farfalle, penne rigate, maccheroni, fusilli or whatever short pasta you can find in the cupboard, make a delicious pasta salad out of it.

Green Asparagus: Fresh asparagus is a must. Don’t use anything that’s in a can or glass because that won’t go well.

Sun- Dried Tomatoes: To bring more freshness to this salad, you could substitute half of the sun-dried tomatoes with fresh cherry tomatoes. If you’re not a fan of tomatoes, grab a red pepper with its sweet, fresh aroma.

Red onions: Red onions are a bit milder, but you can also try shallots or spring onions with an even milder taste.

Herbs: Fresh chopped parsley is recommended.

Dressing: The dressing for the pasta salad is based on fresh lemon juice, garlic and sweet mustard. You can also use Dijon grain mustard if you like.

Shelf life and storage of pasta salad

Make the pasta salad as directed in the recipe and refrigerate until ready to serve. This pasta salad with fresh asparagus can be kept covered in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. If the pasta has absorbed too much moisture during storage, squeeze a little more lemon over the pasta salad before serving.
