Fresh and Flavorful: The Only PASTA SALAD Recipe You Need and Everyone Will Love It!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

If I had only one knife in my kitchen....it would be this one amzn.to/4dXywFn. I reach for it every time to chop, slice, trim and cut everything. I have it in 2 different colors and have gifted it to my daughters too! It's available on Amazon for $69. **Several lengths are shown in this listing (and I have them all) but my most-used knife is 5.5 inches**

I love the idea of roasted veggies in a pasta salad! Adds a whole different level of flavor. 😋

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

I totally agree!

Nice Roasted Salad Salad. Ha Ha - the key to making the cherry tomato slicing thing work, is to use a SERRATED knife. They must've forgot to tell you that part.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

LOL apparently so! It wasn't working out so well for me. The serrated knife would have done the trick. Next time! 😁

[@doloreskomp3036]

You can use the deli container lids and put the tomatoes on the top of the lid that has a rim to help hold the tomatoes . Put the other lid top down on the tomatoes and it holds them in place,

[@lilibee3443]

I need one of the lemon squeezers you have.

[@theaeromama2]

@@doloreskomp3036 ITS A GAME CHANGER FOR CUTTING THE TOMATOES IM GLAD YOU SHARED IT WITH @WELCOMETOMYCURLS

[@Superfatcat2525]

I love roasted veggies why did I never think to make them in a pasta salad? Thank you 😊.

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

Game changer with the roasted veggies!

[@hildadavids217]

Nothing beats roasted vegetables

[@TJ-lj2pi]

Rene, this salad looks great! I must try. Little tip: when you cut small tomatoes with container lids, I use a large serrated knife. Works much better. ❤

[@ldg2655]

Looks delicious!! I’d add some drained canned black beans and a sprinkling of black olives.

[@clsachdeva]

Hi Renee, flip the deli lids over so the tomatoes sit inside the lips of the lids, the lip will hold the tomatoes in place, you don't need to be so careful that way.

[@Rosmills]

I love salad with that Italian mixed dressing, I love roasted vegetables…both of them together is brilliant! Thank you so much for this recipe!

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

You are so welcome!

[@triciag3311]

The pasta salad looks delicious. I love all the veggies in it! Yum!! You weren't lying when you said this would be the side dish of my dreams!

[@jacquelinefreeman6537]

Thank you, for your inspiring recipe. Can’t wait to make it.

[@nancymiller4159]

Reverse the lids when cutting the tomatoes. The lip keeps them from escaping and gives you a smaller space to cut between.

[@sandymclean8935]

Thanks so much for the recipe, I'm looking forward to making this one for sure ! Yum

[@WelcomeToMyCurls]

You are so welcome!

[@janicehoward1769]

I was making pasta salad tonight anyway. Have most of the veggies here and will definitely try this!

[@jeannierich5619]

Cutting the cherry tomatoes with the lid works much, much better with smaller lids like peanut butter jar, lids or mayonnaise jar lids! Good luck I can’t wait to try the salad

[@rebeccapotter1824]

I wish she would show us how to make the scalloped potatoes too!

[@bonnielucas3244]

Good idea. Roasted vegetables in pasta salad

[@jeananorthern5070]

That looks so yummy!!

[@jselbher]

Looks so good!!! Why have I never thought of oiling my pan before putting the veggies on??? Such a good idea. Regarding the tomatoes - I always use a serrated knife with tomatoes. I wonder if that would have worked?

[@MarquitaNelson-uj3tn]

It is easier to slice the cherry tomatoes with two hard plates. You just have to hold the top plate to keep it from sliding off. That way the tomatoes are more stable. This salad sounds and looks sooo tasty. Wonderful for summer!!!

[@MarquitaNelson-uj3tn]

My sister put me on to your videos, newsletters, etc. and I have thoroughly enjoyed watching and listening to you! You are so honest and down to earth. I feel like we e been friends for ages. Thank you!

[@lisacambronmccarter5739]

Love pasta salad!

[@cindyoconnell2471]

I made your salad for company, and it was delicious! You might want to try this-I added arugula instead of romaine or a green leaf lettuce, and it was still delicious the next day. No different than adding spinach or arugula to a soup. Also, sprinkling Parmesan from a jar made it extra yummy! I plan on making this many times in the future!

[@olafpamela]

Try turning your deli lids the other way, it should work better. The salad 🥗 looked delicious 😋 Thanks for sharing 🤗♥️🥗😋

[@Mel52071]

Oxo used to make a cherry and grape slicer gadget that was so great. I don't know why they don't make it anymore, I found mine at a garage sale. I think ebay is the only place you can find it now (or a garage sale :) ).

[@julieweber3398]

Looks delicious! Thank you for sharing! I bet this would freeze nicely without the tomatoes and lettuce 🤔 I can always just add them after it's thawed before I eat it 👍 I'm always looking for batch cooking and freezer meals. sides. Makes life so much easier💕

[@Sweetysalado]

I have also tried cutting cherry tomatoes between two lids. It was the biggest waste of time. Plus, your knife has to be super sharp or you will have a hard time cutting them at all. The pasta salad looks delicious, just like everything you make. ❤

[@bethdavis6863]

Use a serrated knife.

Turn the lids over so the tomatoes are in the well of the lid (outside of lid) above and below. You won't have to press much to keep them in place. Also, use a serrated knife to cut tomatoes.

[@bethroundell8424]

You Ned to put your lid edges towards each other to make a rim to hold the tomatoes between the lids.
