2 Easy Summer Pasta Salads - One Was The Best Seller At The First Place I Worked

[@SipandFeast]

We've been making the spinach one forever. It's that good and so easy! The written recipe is always linked in the description (it's the little "arrow" on mobile and a "show more" on desktop). In the description, you will also find my shop and other links with cookware/ingredients and all the other things you guys frequently ask about.

I love pasta salads during the hot summertime. It's a great alternative to a full meal. Jim- Thanks for including how long your recipes will stay in the refrigerator. I cook for just me so it's good to know how much I can make, at one time, without any spoilage. Nice to see your wife again. Hi, Tara (I hope I remembered the Mrs name correctly- dementia- gotta love it.)

[@SipandFeast]

@Dee Dee Her name is Tara. I err on the side of caution but you can stretch it a bit more I think. Thanks for liking the video!

[@dee_dee_place]

@@SipandFeast I appreciate it. During the summertime you always have to be more careful; food doesn't keep as long.

[@SipandFeast]

@MarkOh 420 Thanks very much! I love tortellini pasta salad. I have it on my list.

[@dee_dee_place]

@@SipandFeast How about orzo salad with chicken & grapes?

[@kingfrank201]

I love that you always skip the small talk and get right into cooking, we can talk while we chop! I enjoy your no BS videos and good food. Made your Caesar salad for some guests and everyone raved about it. Love your content!

[@denelynmarie9429]

I appreciate that your recipes are straight-forward, simple and easy. I look forward to watching more!

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! I try my best to explain the whole process every time.

[@rustybearden1800]

Pasta salads came about by using whatever leftovers were available, made during the warm months of the year and avoiding having to crank up the stove to eat well. They evolved into their own category of dishes and are a staple of buffets, picnics, barbecues, etc. during spring and summer. You can riff endlessly on the combinations of ingredients - your only limit is your imagination. Great post as usual! Mangia!

[@BfloBurdman]

The spinach and gorgonzola salad was the hit of the 4th of July party. Thanks a million. Outstanding is always.

[@SipandFeast]

I'm so happy to hear that! Thank you!

[@JB43186]

Made both and they are absolutely delicious. The Gorgonzola salad is simple, but a show stopper.

[@MHarenArt]

I love making a great salad like that first one to have for a girls night and serve with a couple bottles of Prosecco. And OMG, that spinach/gorgonzola one looks amazing!!! Makes me want to have a salad party! Thanks for sharing.

[@SipandFeast]

A salad party sounds perfect!

[@leadoucet1432]

Prosecco sounds like a good idea. Thanks!

[@EricHenning]

I love how you can’t stop eating the spinach salad while your wife is tasting it! And you still love it after almost 30 years! That’s a big endorsement.

[@sarahjohnson9026]

I just made the first salad and it’s marinating in the fridge for tomorrow. I added mushrooms and peppers to mine and used mozzarella pearls. Really easy to put together!!

[@6783446061]

Just got back from a church pot luck event and my spinach gorgonzola pasta salad dish was clean. What a GREAT recipe!

[@betsymeyers1976]

Glad I found your channel! We love all of your recipes and no nonsense commentary! Thanks!

[@essiebessie661]

I appreciate the tips about what to substitute in and how to select a brand when relevant.

[@beachblond1968]

As soon as I saw the spinach and Gorgonzola salad I knew I had to make it. It’s chilling in the fridge now for a later lunch but I already know it’s fantastic! I hobbled around on a broken foot to put it together! You’re right about buying crumbled Gorgonzola though. We didn’t and what a job that was. Thanks for the great recipe. I just discovered your channel but I have already found lots of great dishes to make!

[@K1k1Ktina]

I just love how calm you are explaining everything.. your recipes are great to follow, very easy even for beginners.. I admire you.

[@SipandFeast]

Thank you so much!

[@ajk6656]

The spinach one works really well with pine nuts as an addition

[@SarahRenz59]

These 2 salads look yummy! Might I make a suggestion? For the spinach pasta salad, add toasted walnuts for some extra flavor and crunch.

[@SipandFeast]

That is for sure a great idea. Thanks!

[@douglasb9105]

BOTH look great! Only one way to find out which one I like better....yep, gonna have to make them both!👍

[@SipandFeast]

Hope you like them both!

[@ramencurry6672]

Not only that but Mrs Sip is a great food judge. She’s awesome

[@gennette22]

Thank you 🙏🏼. Love your channel and recipes.

[@shannonbradley5266]

I LOVE your approach. I watch many people say that you have to use the best this or the best that (Barefoot Contessa...I'm calling you out) but you are REAL and I appreciate that. I can't wait to make these.

[@SipandFeast]

Thank you so much!

[@getoffmydarnlawn]

Perfect timing for pasta salad recipes, but no doubt you knew that --- I'm making the spinach & gorgonola this weekend. What a find this channel has been!

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks so much! I'm glad you're here.

[@Jack-Surreal_Panes]

Me as well. just sounded like it will hit the spot. I may add some Feta. really never had a lot of it but all of a sudden I like it a lot. like to see how it goes with the Gorgonzola

[@smartnsavi]

Fellow Long Islander. Love your videos because you are so real and make everything easy for the everyday person. I make one of your recipes every Sunday. Plan to do more once I’m off of work for the summer. Thank you.

[@leadoucet1432]

That's tomorrow sorted, with pork chops on the grill. Perfect for a hot spring day!

[@charlotteolofsson3595]

Hi, 2 great pastasallads! The salami is great in itself and for the gorgonzola I add a little thinsliced celery, diced firm pear (or halved grapes) and a lot of walnuts for a superdelicious lunch or side dish to chicken or salmon.

[@ninethreefivesix]

I just made your gorgonzola pasta salad and it was incredible. Perfect for the California heat - thanks.

[@thepatriotess4279]

Somebody send this man a big bowl. Pasta salads look delicious.

[@LauDanielS]

Wow, I will definitely try the spinach one. Thanks!

[@mariadesol5821]

A quick and easy dish for family & guests. Very delicious!!!

[@jjmmvvaa]

Just discovered your channel yesterday. Freaking love it! Simeple and delicious cooking and recipes that are easy to follow. Like many others I'm a fan of Babish and Joshua Weissman, but it's so refreshing to see a home cook style one. Seeing your consisten views and subscriptions it's pretty evident you're about to blow up! Keep at it!

[@markabbey4678]

Made the spinach one and WOW! The best part is the dressing is not over powering with vinegar. I love it and will adding to my salad game!

[@piapadmore430]

I don’t know if you read the comments ever; but, I was thinking about searching your vids for pasta salad ideas yesterday, and here you are! I trust you, and know that you make things that are do-able for me🙏🏻😊💫

[@SipandFeast]

I try to read all the comments, though it's getting harder to respond. I do make an effort to respond during the first day the video is released. Enjoy!

[@debradurso524]

I made this for the Holiday Weekend! It was a hit. I just finished the rest tonite. Excellent! Delicious Thank you 😊

[@reevesharvey3125]

Looking forward to trying these recipes and your videos make me very happy. You have a beautiful family and your kids will cherish these videos when they’re older. I will do somethin like this when I have kids myself

[@leeblanchard7106]

I have used the diamond kosher and I put it in a salt grinder. I extremely prefer kosher as I h found I use less than the regular table salt. I have also noticed that the kosher seems to enhance the flavor of the food much better without overwhelming the ingredients.

[@margaretcopeland1055]

Thankyou again for being so clear with your ingredient list and instructions. If I have to substitute an ingredient I can do it, or I know I cannot..

[@z6886]

I love pasta salads. Never had gorgonzola. I gotta give it a try though because everything sounds great.

[@randommcranderson5155]

I'd recommend that after dicing the salami, heat up the diced pieces in a really hot pan (no oil needed) with the goal of getting some browning on those pieces. 100% improvement in 5 minutes.

[@janetcorey5102]

Great salad reminder! Love the new peppy music, and I will try javi

[@yvonnesantiago7637]

You always make easy recipes and explain each step so clearly. Will definitely make both pasta salads.

[@SipandFeast]

Thank you!. Hope you enjoy the both of them.

[@jessejames6688]

Beautiful pasta salads! Thank you for sharing. I think I'd add some toasted nuts like walnuts to the gorgonzola one.

[@skizbees]

It's still in the low 80's at the moment. Perfect time for a cold salad.

[@leeevers8976]

Thank you!! Easy pasta dishes

[@debradurso524]

How I love you ❤️ Making this for Memorial Day! Thank you 😊

[@blairsvillager]

These both look fabulous. I owned a catering company and we made an almost identical spinach/pasta salad, using Roquefort cheese and the addition of oven-roasted walnuts. It was always the first thing on the buffet we had to replenish. Good job! Can't wait to try the other salad with salami. And I'm a new subscriber!

[@GuinessHangover]

I always look forward to your videos, so I can try these on my own "taste testers", and they're always a hit. Thanks for another great couple of recipes!

[@ellenmadsen7308]

Added little tomatoes to the Gorgonzola salad, yum.

[@caronbranstetter6095]

I absolutely love your channel and your recipes. Great tip for red wine vinegar

[@jimmorrison714]

One of my favorite summer dished is cold noodles with sesame sauce.

[@blairwesterman2635]

I only know how to make a handful of salads well, or at least, I don’t stray far from old reliables, so I really appreciate this episode...excited to try both of these salads this summer. Thanks for this, cheers! 🇨🇦👍🏻

[@kathleenryan1371]

So, just made this today! I used arugula instead of spinach and blue cheese because I could not find gorgonzola. Added cherry tomatoes, torn basil and toasted pine nuts. Absolutely delish! Thanks for the great idea!

[@Shoetoe2000]

I made the Italian one today, it was great with the hot weather! Thanks for the vid:)

[@rickross199]

I love pasta salad! These look fantastic! My girlfriend makes a great one she crumbles some blue cheese in it I think it's just fabulous!

[@SipandFeast]

The blue cheese or gorgonzola salads are great! Thanks for the comment.

[@Not_questionable_1889]

This channel is a vibe. Seriously top notch.

[@SipandFeast]

Really appreciate that. Thank you!

[@lucyw.7597]

i make a similar spinach salad, just with pecorino, but im going to try it with gorgonzola..which i love! looks delicious!

[@tiltingatwindmills7018]

I made the spinach gorgonzola pasta salad and added Italian sausage. It’s delish!

[@cynthiaking4281]

I am gonna make the spinach and Gorgonzola pasta salad for the 4th of July, but I am gonna add red grapes 🍇. Great salad ideas

[@whyforcemetohaveachannel3228]

I am literally salivating watching you make this! Now I know what to make for lunch in the next few days. I’ll probably add toasted walnuts to the spinach salad, though.

[@claudia2.1]

Gorgeous salads! Can't wait to try them, thank you! Hope we get to see your daughter too! Girl power.

[@chowter]

Thank you, both sound so yummy. I have to say your son may love Blue cheese when he gets older. I did not like it as a kid but in my ole age, it is one of my favorites. ty again for awesome recipes and videos.

[@victoriag1056]

Ugh so glad I found this video!! Found it on my Google news feed. So weird. But helpful. Definitely subscribing!! Thank you ❤️❤️

[@susankearney4858]

Just a heads up. You can use a salad spinner to dry out pasta for salad. 😋

[@SipandFeast]

That is something I never considered.

[@chadmanl2121]

I just made the fusilli salad and it’s very good. I added a little sugar because I found it a little too vinegary. It’s very easy and will make a great side dish with some grilled tritip! Next time, I’m going to toss in a bag of arugula and try it. Thank you for the recipe!

[@robertdianazerwick2999]

Thanks so much for all you do. So helpful and all delicious. Love your family too. My husband even watches. God's blessings from a fellow Long Islander (Massapequa and W. Babylon) now living in "commie" Michigan. Keep up the great cooking, you are so much appreciated.

[@pibbie807constantine6]

looks yum I must try, lots of salads in the summer

[@kimberleegullbailey2547]

So much Thanks!! Perfect for Summer!! You and your Wife are wonderful ❤!!

[@tim00610]

First salad looks so freakin good! think it will go very well with some fresh basil defo going to try this out aswell

[@gene4239]

They both sound like fabulous salads.

[@fathmaa.2233]

I did not realize I should be blending my vinaigrettes, yours looks way better than mine just being mixed with a spoon 😂

[@masterbas0r]

just made the pasta salad. its absolutely fantastic!

[@944gemma]

You should be on tv with your own program, making millions. You are the best.

[@vittoriabakes]

This looks great. A tip: When making a vinaigrette dressing, to add a little extra stability and body to it, add a little xanthan gum and blend it in with the immersion blender. Start with a sprinkle of maybe 1/8 tsp, blend, check, and go from there. The stuff is pretty potent so try not to use too much. But it definitely elevates the dressing!

[@yunzers]

I usually don’t like pasta salad but LOVE this. Don’t know why I never thought of it! You’re the BEST thanks!maybe add sone nuts or seeds for crunch.

[@tawana2inspire]

I would toss in some artichokes. Can't wait to try it. Thanks

[@kgizzle92]

Nothing is better than the random pasta salad you got at the grocery store after day drinking!

[@tamellison2334]

AWESOME AWESOME SHOW!!!! SIMPLE AND CLASSY!!! I CANT WAIT TO PURCHASE THE COOKBOOK!!! KEEP UP THE GREAT WORK 👏👏👏👏👏

[@ludingtonian584]

Gorgonzola and spinach is a marriage made in heaven. It might be even better with some toasted pine nuts/pinolis. It would an interesting crunch as well as a piney note.

[@AC-qi9wo]

Yummy, I always double my dressing it always seems so dry by the next day, these are definitely going to try these thank you 😊.

[@cherylsHTX]

I love your channel! You have given me confidence in myself in the kitchen and I really appreciate it!

[@mrgimpie]

Have friends coming in this weekend and this will be perfect. Thanks Jim

[@Fleur458]

These sound so good! Also a good idea to ask the deli to slice it thicker to make little cubes. Would not have thought of that.

[@rmb5355]

it's getting warm by the LI sound!! gonna be a good summer

[@TDAEON]

What a wee little grater! I love it. And everything looks amazing. Ready to BBQ picnic now 😋

[@amppma7302]

going to a barbeque next weekend. will be making and taking the salami pasta salad. great recipe for something that doesn't need to be refrigerated. I'm sure it will be a hit. thanks for posting

[@mrob75]

Just awesome! I’m rather new here and I’ve learned SO MUCH already!

[@SipandFeast]

Thank you! Happy to have you here!

[@melanierobin8510]

We made the Italian pasta salad and took it to a Memorial Day cookout. It was a big hit. We'll definitely be making it again.

[@SipandFeast]

Thank you, and so happy you liked these!

[@bijou2]

What other cheese would be a good substitution for the Gorgonzola? (Allergic to blue cheese). Thanks!

[@SipandFeast]

Feta cheese would be a great substitute.

[@The_Timinator]

I made the Spinach Pasta, it was very tasty, one Family member didn't like the Gorgonzola but loved the Dressing, I loved the Gorgonzola, it added a nice dimension to this, I also added about 3 big spoonful of cold Peas that were left over from dinner the night before...those were a nice flavor enhancer too.

[@dh7139]

I was looking for summer pasta salads on youtube.I love to cook, love exploring KZbin recipes, you have one of my favorite channels, keep the great content coming, I'm rooting for you to get to and surpass 1M subscribers👊

[@kademay6004]

Always looking forward to your videos!

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! Glad you're here.

[@themeddle2449]

Great video! I was wondering if you‘ve ever had Pasta alla Boscaiola. It’s a traditional dish from toscany and I really recommend trying it!

[@martyrose]

Thanks! Love pasta salad. Love spinach but I always use feta which is strange because I like gorgonzola better. Just never think to use it. Next time.

[@Mibular]

I'm sure both of these salads are outstanding! I can't wait to try them!

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! We love both but the gorgonzola is always the biggest hit.

[@imaginarypsychic3486]

Loved seeing the recipe on the screen . thanks for the content by the way

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! I felt I needed to include the dressing ingredients at least for on screen.

[@davidwarnock3683]

Woah that first salad looks amazing. Not a Gorgonzola fan so will just stick with the first one. The dressing looks incredible. Will make this one, thanks

[@KreighS3413]

Made the spinach/Gorgonzola one. Really, really good. The entire half pound of Gorgonzola cheese is not too much. Love the vinaigrette. Next time I’ll add 2 teaspoons of red pepper flakes, and 3 tablespoons of oregano, as I like spicy, robust flavors. Anyway, great recipe..thanks!

[@evahori7986]

Both of these looked outstanding- but I made the spinach/gorgonzola one first. I was thinking- "Mannn, this would be good with some toasted pine nuts", but since I didn't have those, I did find some chopped walnuts in the depths of my fridge, so tossed those in- and the crunch they added was awesome! Was REEEEEALLLLLY good with a a glass of Prosecco on this hot day we are having! Thanks for sharing all of your wonderful recipes with us - you ROCK!! 👄

[@noelcleary9839]

Love it, thanks again for your great videos

[@WilliamStout27]

EXCELLENT!! I've done the SPINACH GORGONZOLA Salad Version with pear and toasted pine nuts and no Pasta a great combo Jim. I'll put my grape tomatoes from the garden in the first one. Long live Gorgonzola !!!! LOL :)

[@SipandFeast]

Haha. Love gorgonzola!

[@SteveG123]

Mmm-mmm-mmm. Love pasta salads and these two look so delicious. You have a really good synthesis of important attention to detail and relaxed execution.

[@SipandFeast]

Thanks! Truth is this video could have been shorter, but I try to provide value for the most part in all segments. For example, I addressed the Kosher salt issue since I get so many comments regarding it.

[@billpar]

both looked fantastic, my mouth was watering, I love pasta salad

[@beanie7547]

Never had Gorgonzola until I was in Italy last month. I had it in a cannelloni with ricotta. It was very good which says a lot since I am not a bleu cheese fan. I’d love to see some recipes using it.
