Notes

  • The serving size for this recipe is for 6-8 people, when served as a side dish, with a main dish and at least one other side dish. If serving the recipe as the only side dish with a main dish, it will feed 4 people.
  • To make this recipe gluten-free replace traditional penne pasta with gluten-free penne, rotini, small shells or elbow pasta.
  • Leftover pasta salad can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 5 days. I always recommend eating the salad cold, and storing it in an airtight container to preserve the fresh flavors.
