Everything about Pasta Salad totally explained
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-based dressing. It can be served as an
appetizer or a
main course.
As there's no one precise or agreed-upon recipe for the dish, ingredients vary widely by region, restaurant, seasonal availability, and/or preference of the preparer. The salad can be as simple as cold
macaroni mixed with
mayonnaise, or as elaborate as several pastas tossed together with a
vinaigrette and a variety of fresh, preserved or cooked ingredients. These can include vegetables,
legumes, cheeses, nuts, herbs, spices, meats, poultry, or seafood. Broccoli, carrots, baby corn, cucumbers, olives, onions, beans, chick peas, peppers,
parmesan and
feta cheeses are all popular ingredients in versions typically found at North American
salad bars.
Pasta salad is often regarded as a
spring or
summertime meal, but can be served year-round.
In Australian cuisine, pasta salad became increasingly popular during the 1990s when the Mrs. Crockets company launched in supermarket stores across
Australia. It is made up of cooked pasta pieces (usually either shell pasta, elbow shaped pasta or Penne) covered in mayonnaise and accompanied by carrots,
capsicum (bell peppers), and sometimes celery. It is similar in style to the American
macaroni salad.
