Creamy Pasta Salad is a versatile dish often enjoyed in American cuisine, though it draws inspiration from Italian pasta traditions. This flavorful salad typically includes cooked pasta blended with a rich and creamy dressing made from mayonnaise, yogurt, or sour cream. Common mix-ins include colorful vegetables like bell peppers, carrots, and peas, along with optional protein additions such as diced chicken, tuna, or hard-boiled eggs. Fresh herbs like parsley or dill often enhance its taste. While Creamy Pasta Salad provides a source of carbohydrates from the pasta and nutrients from the veggies, its calorie content can be higher due to the creamy dressing, which may contain added fats. Opting for whole-grain pasta and lighter dressings can make this dish a healthier choice. Perfect for picnics or potlucks, its indulgent texture and balanced blend of flavors make it a crowd-pleasing favorite.
