What a great collection of recipes! I just made a basil tortellini pasta salad that was perfect for our hot weather.
Thanks I am all about pasta salads these days!
I love pasta salad! We had some with dinner last night that’s almost like a caprese salad. Orzo, chunks of mozzarella cheese, cut up basil, cherry tomatoes (but I personally pick them out ha), then a little olive oil, red pepper flakes and salt. I’ll need to try some of these though
always a crowd favorite around here
The grilled Hawaiian pasta salad is calling my name!
It is one of my all time faves will be making it again this week

Oooh, these all look great! You would be so proud of me, I made a pasta salad last night with ranch dressing & cucumbers (with a little bit of bacon, just because). Next time, I’ll add some tomatoes & red pepper…because there will be a next time 🙂

That’s a great collection of recipes! I will definitely try the quinoa black bean salad. I’m trying to reduce carbs, so will try to not be tempted to try the pasta ones.
Ha ok!
I love good pasta salads in the summer! I am going to see if I can make some of these work in Mr PugrRunner’s plan!
Sounds good!
Such a great round up! We are loving pasta salads more than ever this year. They’re one of my husbands favorites and our youngest daughter, and Baby G, have been loving them lately too. Quinoa salads are always at the top of my list!
