20 Delicious Pasta Salad Recipes

Here are some tips to keep in mind when making these delicious pasta salads:

Keep your food safe! Food should not sit out longer than 2 hours, and if it is over 90 degrees, food should be out no longer than 1 hour. Summertime is a wonderful time to have family gatherings outside, but be sure to keep your food safe so no one gets sick.
Toss the salad with some of the dressing. For the best pasta salad, toss it with 2/3 of the dressing while the pasta is still warm. Then toss the remaining dressing in right before serving.
Rinse your pasta. If you are making a cold pasta salad, you should rinse it with cold water right after draining. This stops the cooking process and rinses off the starchy coating from cooking.
