Who would think to put Ro-Tel in a pasta salad? This is very flavorful and filling, and it's a healthier meal that's inexpensive (I think it came with some coupons in the mail). Yum!

This pasta salad is a great way to use up leftover vegetables. I had some leftover broccoli, carrots, and celery, and they worked perfectly in this salad.

I'm not a huge fan of pasta salad, but this one changed my mind. It's so light and refreshing, and the dressing is amazing. I'll definitely be making this again.

This pasta salad is a great make-ahead dish. I made it the night before a party and it was even better the next day. The flavors had a chance to meld together and it was so delicious.

This pasta salad was a hit at my summer potluck! It was colorful, flavorful, and easy to make. I used gluten-free pasta, and it worked perfectly. I also added some diced cucumber for extra crunch.
