I’ve always been kinda picky about my pasta salad. Well I guess I should say that I was super picky about pasta salad when I was growing up. I’m a little less picky about it now but I still have some requirements. haha

  • I want my pasta salad to be super cold
  • There should be some cheese in there some where.
  • Don’t hide little pieces of onion in my pasta salad!

See, I’m just a a tad bit picky now. However, one thing I NEED when it comes to pasta salad is FLAVOR!  I hate a plain, no taste pasta salad on the table. There is just no place on the picnic table for flavorless pasta salad. haha

So if you’re in a pasta salad rut and running low on what kind of flavorful pasta salad to make, have no fear! I’ve got 25 Summer Pasta Salads below from you to choose from! Pasta salads ranging from Greek Pasta Salad to Taco Pasta Salad, you’re sure to find one that you will want to make over and over again!
