Best Cold Pesto Pasta Salad Recipes
HUMMUS 'PESTO' COLD PASTA SALAD
Steps:
- Break spacghetti into thirds and cook al dente. Run under cold water. Toss with a tablespoon of Bertolli olive oil to keep it from sticking. Put the first seven ingredients in a food processor or blender and blend until a paste about the same consistency as pesto is created, adding water a tablespoon at a time if needed. (Lean to the thin side, remember the hummus will get firmer when chilled.) Pour hummus over the pasta and toss until coated. Chill. Before serving, toss in the tomatoes, onions, and olives. Drizzle with the 1/4 cup of Bertolli olive oil. Serve and enjoy.
COLD PESTO PASTA SALAD
This recipe was submitted to Semi-homemade magazine by Courtney Dollar. It is a great accompaniment to a picnic, backyard bbq or anywhere you need multiple dishes that are easy to make and go well with a variety of foods. Super with chicken or sandwiches. If you substitute tri-color pasta it makes it even more colorful when matched with the fresh vegetables. You can add onions for more flavor but it is good without too. Enjoy! ChefDLH
