Receta Loaded Pasta Salad
Loaded Pasta SaladThis pasta salad has everything but the kitchen sink! It's really a meal in itself.
What better way to usher in summer than a fine, chilled pasta salad?
This salad combines a bit of everything. In fact, it could be a complete meal if you wanted it to be, but it's great served as a side.
It's really a complete meal!I incorporated the general theme of a classic pasta salad along with a hack of an Amish broccoli salad. The combination really is great here.
If you want the salad more pungent and oniony, then add about 2-3 tbs of chopped onion.
This is also a good way to use up leftover cooked pasta and broccoli! But any leftover veggie will do here, so make it totally your own!
