    If I had to pinpoint it down, I would have to say the Pesto Pasta Chicken Salad is on the top of my list! With its tender white chicken morsels, fresh veggies, and black olives wrapped in a flavourful pesto sauce, how can you go wrong? And, my next pick would be the Chicken Bacon Ranch Pasta Salad. It is a yummy salad loaded with all the flavors you love like ranch dressing, bacon, chicken, and pasta noodles. It is also great whether you serve it cold or warm.

    The point is, pasta is not only for casseroles or the same old boring mac ‘n cheese. While those are heavenly concoctions and comfort-food worthy, pasta is also wonderful served with fresh veggies as a side dish for a picnic. So, if you need a little inspiration for yummy mouth-watering side dishes for your next get-together, be sure and check out the delicious pasta salad recipes in this collection!

      These salads look good ,especially during the warm summer days you dont want to turn the oven on.

    9. I love to have a pasta salad in the fridge for a fast lunch or snack. Never having mayo, I use strained (Greek) yoghurt. It is healthier too.
