There is quite literally nothing like a pasta salad during the summer months. I swear we make them a couple times a week and are constantly bringing them to family functions, potlucks, and other gatherings. There is no end to the possibilities when it comes to pasta salad. I love mixing it up with new ingredients and new dressings and today’s zucchini pasta salad is my new favorite.

5 SECRETS TO GETTING DINNER ON THE TABLE...FAST!

I loaded this salad with all kinds of goodness: fresh mozzarella, sun dried tomatoes, artichokes, tomatoes, red onions and zucchini spirals. It took me hardly anytime at all to pull together and looked absolutely gorgeous when I served it.

I used a blend of fresh, frozen, and jarred ingredients which is a lovely combination that results in a whole lot of deliciousness without a lot of effort.

I had fun using one of my new favorite products, Green Giant Veggie Spirals™. They come in four varieties – Beets, Carrot, Butternut Squash, and the Zucchini that I used in this recipe, and they’re all are available at Walmart. I’ve stocked up on all 4 varieties and they make a quick, tasty and fun addition to dinner. (My favorite are the beets!! SO good!)

I love that the veggies are precut and ready to go. You can microwave, sauté, or boil – whatever works for you. These packages are just the vegetables – no sauces, no seasonings, so you can prepare them how you like. I have been using the microwave most often but since I already had to boil the pasta for the salad, I just popped the zucchini into the hot water and let it cook for 1 minute. Super easy!

We’ve got zucchini Alfredo on the menu for this coming week and I can’t wait to use these Green Giant Veggie Spirals for it – it’s going to be delicious and fast.

The dressing is one of my personal favorites and I use it frequently on salads for lunch throughout the week. It’s a simple combination of olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice and some seasonings. I love that it lets the salad ingredients really shine through.

Make sure to cool the pasta and zucchini too – you don’t want to overcook it. A quick ice bath does the trick. Toss the remaining ingredients in the bowl, pour about half the dressing on the salad and give it a toss.

I like to chill the pasta salad for a couple of hours before serving. I give it another quick toss with the remaining salad dressing right before serving.
