Ditalini Pasta salad with Passion Fruit Vinaigrette
I have always said that any types of pasta salad should have ingredients you enjoy eating. These ingredients might be vegetables, spices, and cheese. The latter is omitted from this recipe.
My Ditalini Pasta Salad does not have any cheese because not all pasta salad should have cheese. But all salads should have a good vinaigrette. A vinaigrette created with the right vinegar.
Fruity kinds of vinegar are becoming more and more popular these days. Creating a vinaigrette or dressing for a salad with a fruity vinegar is a nice way to explore different types of flavor.
Pasta noodles love absorbing flavors. And the best way is to create the right vinaigrette blend. For this recipe, I chose simplicity.
I made the vinaigrette with shallots, parsley, garlic, salt, pepper and passion fruit vinegar. Just the right touch to create a yummy dish.
Ditalini pasta is not only for soup as the photo on the packaging may suggest. It is one of the best pasta noodles for pasta salads.
Enjoy this simple, beautiful and delicious pasta salad with roasted or grilled meat.
