About Pasta Salad
To begin with first cook pasta as per the pack instructions. I used wheat pasta so it takes little extra time to cook than the normal white pasta. Cook pasta, rins with water and set aside. Now to a mixing bowl add the dressing ingredients mix it well until creamy set aside. Now to another big mixing bowl add pasta along with vegetables, then add dressing to it. Mix it well and serve fresh! This pasta salad is perfect to add and customise the veggies as per your preference.
Variations
You can add your favorite veggies or any other veggies like broccoli, corn, baby corn etc. Add cooked chicken strips if you like. For a low fat version you can replace mayo with hung curd. You can add sausages if you like. Toss it with herbs in olive oil and then add it. You can use any pasta variety you have. I used wheat pasta spiral variety for a more healthier option.
Serving and Storage
You can serve it as such for breakfast or as a side with soups or any bread. Pasta salad is meant to be had fresh so I do not recommend storing. But incase if you want to store, store in fridge for 2-3 days and serve later.
