Have you ever made a pasta salad, poured a lot of dressing all over it and then put it into the fridge until you were ready to serve it? Pasta noodles really have a way of soaking up all that dressing in a hurry. The down side is….it doesn’t really soak up the flavor of the dressing. I have found adding a little olive oil and seasonings to the pasta, letting it chill out in the fridge for a bit….and then adding your dressing just before serving makes a flavorless pasta salad jump up and cry out “You better believe it baby! You are going to LOVE me.” Isn’t that just what you want? Pasta Salad with Personality. Everything is better with a little personality, now isn’t it.

What a great idea about adding seasoning and a bit of olive oil to really make a pasta salad pop! Thanks for sharing!!
Thanks for reminding me of this one! I used to often make a very similar one that I loved. I remember mine had small cubes of provolone cheese in it instead of the Parmesan though. Either would be delicious!
