Savannah Pasta Salad

Southern Pasta

My friend Amy introduced me to this Savannah Pasta Salad. I love summer pasta salads, and this one is so good and really easy.  Because it doesn’t necessarily have to be served cold, and because it contains no mayonnaise, it is perfect for any type of cookout or party where food might be left outside for a while. (Think July 4th recipes!)

Now, my picture doesn’t look as pretty because I forgot the parsley!  (I can’t believe I did that–I had plenty of it in the garden.)

A few tips with this recipe:

  • Trade out any small sized pasta you like. I used ditalini.
  • Use your favorite garden vegetables: Omit the ones you don’t care for, and add your favorites!
  • Make extra dressing as a salad dressing for green garden salads. This dressing is so good!
  • Omit the fresh parsley if you don’t have it readily available in a garden. It is used mostly for color and presentation, not taste.

    I just made this but I had to do some of substituting. I had no elbow noodles (very unusual for me) so I used mostaccioli noodles and I cut the cooked noodles in half, cause I didn’t like how big they were (go ahead and laugh, I was, it took longer to cut the noodles than to make the salad). And I didn’t have cucumbers, but I had zuchini. I love pasta salads. Can’t wait for dinner.
    Thank you for this share.
    God Bless you in everything you do.
