Which types of pasta work best?
Small and short noodles are usually used for pasta salad because they absorb a lot of dressing. Another advantage: Short noodles are easier to eat, making pasta salad the perfect party food. Fusilli and penne are the classics in the pasta salad business. Depending on your taste, you can also use other types of pasta such as tortellini, spaghetti or glass noodles.
Which dressing?
The German pasta salad classic is prepared with mayonnaise. If you prefer something Mediterranean, use pesto. Whether green or red is a matter of taste. The pasta salad becomes a little lighter with yogurt dressing or a balsamic vinaigrette – particularly recommended on warm summer days! Add a special touch to your salad with fresh herbs, mustard, kernels or seeds.
