![]() ![]() Pro Tip for Vegetarians: I often make two versions of this: identical, but one little bowl with no ham for any vegetarians who we love and want to be able to eat pasta salad. When the pasta is cooked, add it to the bowl with the dressing and toss it with the cubed ham and cheese, herbs, and onions. ![]() Add pasta, beans, tomatoes, spinach, cucumber, salt, and 1/2 cup of the feta to pesto mixture stir to combine. While pasta cooks, stir together pesto, oil, lemon zest, and lemon juice in a large bowl. I also added LOTS of salt and pepper to make everything taste a little stronger since the sour cream and mayo are kind of blah flavors until you add to them. Cook orzo according to package directions drain and rinse with cold water until pasta feels cool to the touch. I like a tangier dressing, so I added a little more vinegar. Then, stir it together! Taste the dressing to see how it tastes to you. For the dressing, just dump everything in the bottom of a bowl.While that's happening, make the dressing and prep the rest of the ingredients. Cook the pasta to al dente, drain it, rinse it so it isn't all sticky. Start some water for the pasta with SALT so the pasta tastes good.If you are vegan, this vegan pasta salad is really yummy as an alternative to classic macaroni salad!.For a spicy version, add ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper to the dressing.Feel free to add other veggies to this! Cherry tomatoes are great, celery is lovely, cucumber is nice and fresh, really anything you like can be used to customize this macaroni salad recipe.If you don't have a crazy spring onion like this you can use 4-6 scallions depending on your desire for onion flavor. ![]() For the salad itself you need some fresh herbs (dill and parsley kind of give that ranch flavor we all know and love), spring onions or scallions (or just one, this guy was enormous!), ham, and cheddar. Then for the dressing you need sour cream, mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, salt, and pepper. Use any kind you like, but I like macaroni or something else bendy and curly that really grabs onto all the dressing and other ingredients in the salad. ![]()
