The beauty of pasta salad is in how simple it can be to put one together while still yielding delicious results. Our linguine salad recipe has just five ingredients and comes together in a quick 20 minutes, including the linguine’s cooking time. Light, cool and refreshing, it’s an ideal pasta salad to bring to a picnic or potluck. If summer was a pasta salad, it would be this pasta salad.<\/p>\n
Cook the linguine according to the directions on the package.<\/p>\n Meanwhile in a large bowl, combine the cucumber, tomatoes and green onions.<\/p>\n Drain the linguine and rinse it in a colander under cold water. Add the linguine to the vegetable mixture, then drizzle it with Italian dressing, tossing to coat the noodles and vegetables. Refrigerate the linguine salad\u00a0until serving time.<\/p>\n Store the linguine salad in an airtight container in the refrigerator, where it will keep for three to four days.<\/p>\n Pasta salads are excellent make-ahead dishes, as the flavors come together even more over time. Make it up to a day or two ahead of time for the best results.<\/p>\n Absolutely! The corkscrew shape of rotini<\/a> adds a playful touch to this pasta-based salad. Small shells or elbow macaroni also work well, as does spaghetti. Check out our guide to pasta shapes<\/a> for even more ideas.<\/p>\n Sure! Vinaigrette-style dressings are excellent in pasta salad. Try a sesame ginger dressing for a sesame linguine salad, or even a light citrus vinaigrette.<\/p>\n The wonderful thing about pasta salads is how easy it is to customize them. For extra deliciousness, add hunks of pepper jack or feta, and some black olives or capers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Our five-ingredient linguine salad recipe is simple and fast.
