11 Easy Cold Pasta Salad Recipes with Italian Dressing

I love cold pasta salad with Italian dressing for a variety of reasons.
1. There's no heat involved
The current temperature outside is somewhere in the 80s, and I don't know about you guys, but I just can't handle anything that's going to make it any hotter.
That's why a cold pasta salad recipe with Italian dressing is literally perfect right now.
2. They're easy to make
I'm not saying they take no effort—sometimes they're more complicated than others—but at least you don't have to worry about heating up something or making sure it cooks properly.
You just have to do some mixing and follow the instructions for whatever recipe you've chosen.
3. They're so colorful!
I'm all about a good-looking meal—and these recipes definitely deliver on that front!
You can use any kind of pasta and any kind of veggies and cheese, which means there are literally endless possibilities for color combinations. (My favorite may be green pasta with yellow peppers, red onions, and blue cheese).
