Alsacian Pasta Salad

IMO, this Pasta salad is an absolute must have for an outdoor BBQ. It is one of the most popular side dishes and convinces as a party salad as well as a simple lunch or dinner. Here you will find my favorite pasta salad recipe, the one I ate while in the French Alsace (Colmar) region.

A classic pasta salad belongs on the barbecue buffet! For more sophistication, you can also refine the pasta salad with aromatic antipasti vegetables like mushrooms, red peppers and artichoke hearts, which are preferred especially in the summer. You can use variation with favorite toppings, instead bacon use salami. Besides cherry tomatoes, you can also add some mozzarella and olives to create a colorful barbecue salad!
