Recipe Summary Easy Vegan Pasta Salad
This is seriously the best pasta salad ever. It makes an easy meal for vegans or vegetarians, or you can serve it as a side for a meat dish. Bring it to a party or BBQ and it will steal the show! And it's adaptable--use whatever you have in your fridge! Best when refrigerated and served cold.Ingredients | Pasta Salad Recipes With Italian Dressing
1 (16 ounce) package penne pasta
1 (8 ounce) bottle Italian-style salad dressing
1 (15 ounce) can kidney beans, rinsed and drained
2 tomatoes, diced
1 large cucumber, diced
1 (6 ounce) can sliced black olives
Directions
Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add penne and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Drain and rinse pasta with cold water. Transfer to a large bowl.
Add kidney beans, tomatoes, cucumber, and olives to the cold pasta; mix to combine. Pour salad dressing over mixture, and gently stir until incorporated.
You can use any shape of short pasta for this salad--farfalle, shells, and rotini are all good options.
Looking for an extra flavor blast? Add Italian seasonings, salt, pepper, onions, and--if you're not vegan--Parmesan cheese to the mixture.
