3 New Pasta Salads to Make All Summer Long

Updated May 31, 2017
Beef Taco Pasta Salad
Don’t be surprised if your guests fill their entire plates with these new pasta salads. Thanks to a short cut from Suddenly Salad, they’re ridiculously easy to make but delight with impressive presentation and fresh summer flavors.

Tis the season of potlucks and parties which means it’s also the season for pasta salads! We’ve never met a pasta salad we didn’t like (or eat), but we’re totally guilty of treating this must-have side as a last-minute afterthought. Part of our excuse is that pasta salads are low-maintenance dishes that we can always count on so we don’t have to put much thought into them. After all, they only require a few minutes of prep and simple ingredients. But since they always deliver applause-worthy results, it was time to give the underrated side another look.

These three pasta salads, developed by Betty bloggers, have changed the way we think about the traditional pasta salad. Inspired by popular flavor profiles and created from a box of Betty Crocker™ Suddenly Salad™, these salads go from a supporting role to the starring role in a matter of minutes.

Taco salad gets a summertime twist when it comes together with a box of southwestern-ranch pasta and gets topped with seasoned ground beef and crunchy corn chips.

Dill Pickle-Ranch Pasta Salad

Oh yes, we did! Dill pickle is the new flavor of summer, but ranch still reigns. We put them together in one crazy-easy pasta salad.

This pasta salad is loaded with fresh ingredients like tomatoes, lettuce, and avocado. It delivers zesty summer flavors thanks to green chiles, cilantro and southwestern-ranch pasta.

Everyone knows that the side dishes steal the show.
