About Pasta salad sauce

Pasta Salad Sauce is a flavorful dressing that blends the tanginess of vinegar, the richness of olive oil, and the zest of herbs and spices to elevate cold pasta dishes. Often inspired by Mediterranean and Italian cuisines, common ingredients include red or white wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, Dijon mustard, garlic, and dried or fresh herbs like basil, oregano, and parsley. Some variations incorporate yogurt or mayonnaise for a creamier texture. This sauce is a healthier alternative to heavy cream-based dressings due to its heart-healthy olive oil and lack of added sugars. However, its calorie content can quickly add up depending on the amount of oil and any added salts or mayonnaise. Geared towards pairing with vegetables, lean proteins, and whole-grain pasta, it can form part of a balanced meal. Versatile and customizable, it offers a delicious way to enhance nutrient-rich salads while controlling ingredient quality.
