Pasta salad is a dish prepared with one or more types of pasta, usually chilled, and most often tossed in a vinegar, oil or mayonnaise dressing. It can be served as an appetizer or a main course, and there is no one exact recipe for the dish. The salad recipe can be as simple as cold macaroni mixed with mayonnaise, or as diverse as several pastas tossed together with a vinaigrette and a variety of fresh and cooked ingredients. Common ingredients for the pasta salad recipe include vegetables, legumes, cheeses, nuts, herbs, spices, meats, poultry, seafood, broccoli, carrots, baby corn, cucumbers, olives, onions, beans, chick peas, peppers, and parmesan.
In addition to pasta salad, this video series will show you how to make a couscous lentil salad, which features couscous, lentils, cucumbers, and sun-dried tomatoes.
