I am on the hunt for a fabulous and super simple pasta salad. Naturally, I turned to Pinterest, and I found so many amazing pasta salad recipes I want to try.
To keep things simple in our Simple BBQ menu, I stuck to a few guidelines.
- No more than 5-10 ingredients
- No more than 3-5 cooking steps
- Entire prep time cannot exceed 20-30 minutes
With those guidelines in mind, here are six simple salad recipes that would go perfectly with our Simple BBQ menu.
Delicious and Easy Pasta Salad by I Heart Naptime
Easy Pesto Pasta Salad by Wine and Glue
The Easiest Pasta Salad Ever by A Well Crafted Party
5-Ingredient Pasta Salad by Gimme Some Oven
Easy Summery Pasta Salad by Flamingo Toes
