Pasta Salad Ingredients

This classic pasta salad recipe is easy and fresh. Here’s what you’ll need to make it:

• Fusilli pasta – Or your pasta of choice! Short pasta shapes are best here. I like rotini, penne, and farfalle in addition to fusilli.
• Cherry tomatoes – I love their sweet flavor and juicy texture in this salad.
• Cucumbers – For crunch! I like to use Persian cucumbers or English cucumber here. Both have very thin skins, so there’s no need to peel them.
• Chickpeas – They add plant-based protein.
• Arugula – It adds peppery flavor and extra green.
• Feta cheese – For salty, tangy flavor.
• Pine nuts – Like the cucumbers, they add satisfying crunch.
• And fresh herbs – Parsley, basil, AND mint pack this salad with fresh flavor!
