In my opinion, pasta salad is one of the most underrated weeknight meals. Not only can it be made ahead of time, but it's completely customizable with whatever you have in the fridge.

That being said, maybe a video "The Weeknight Meals I actually make the most" would be interesting.

In that second recipe, I bet it would be great to go even further with the southwestern flavors: sour cream instead of the mayo, and add a chopped up chipotle pepper and spoonful of adobo sauce to the dressing.

My mom and I accidentally started dressing our Greek inspired salad with feta cheese (well, "feta" cheese, it's neither from Greece nor made of sheep milk). I just crumble feta on top of the veggies I cut up and pour hot pasta on top. As you mix it, the heat melts the feta into a salty and creamy dressing, and the larger chunks of cheese still stay and give a few salty bombs as you eat.

We hit hard times a bit last month, so I started experimenting with making food salads out of canned meats like tuna and chicken, and it was such a game changer. Easy, delicious, stores like a dream, doesn't even have to be cooked...just perfect for week nights and lunches. We always have a little pasta around, so I might start doing pasta salads too. Also, I second the statement about adding MSG to your food salads. Really kicks it up a notch.

I love both types of pasta salad, creamy and vinaigrette. For creamy, I use ditalini, hard boiled eggs, onion, celery, garlic, mayo and a bit of mustard. For vinaigrette I use rotini, a can each of (drained, rinsed and dried) black beans, kidney beans, garbanzo beans and white (navy beans). Sometimes I'll blanch broccoli or add a half bag of frozen peas and carrots or some frozen green beans to the hot pasta. I make 2 packages of Italian dressing (Good Seasons) using olive oil and balsamic vinegar and either one feeds me for 4 days. I'll have to try your second one with the chicken though! Thanks.

At the height of COVID I needed something cold I could eat in my office because I was uncomfortable going to the break room. I spent months messing around with pasta salad to settle on a new staple I could prep week after week. Lemon Pesto Pasta Salad, 5 servings: 12oz rotini (overcooked!), 1 shredded rotisserie chicken or 3 diced oven roasted chicken breasts marinated in lemon juice and garlic. Dressing: juice of 1 lemon, 2-3oz (Delallo) basil pesto, 2T water, tons of extra virgin olive oil but I never measure. Also good with various toppings depending on how well stocked and lazy you are: black olives, jarred roasted red peppers, arugula, fresh herbs, chickpeas, cannellini beans.

I also find using plant based pasta for pasta salad works well for making it healthier. And sometimes it even tastes better since it molds well with all the greens added in. You’ll see it sometimes in store bought salads, where they mix in spinach noodles. I personally like the variety and it drops the calories down and protein up as well.

Just started the video but diced apple (or if available pomegranate seeds) is one of my favorite sweet and sour additions to a salad. For added low carb sustenance, grated carrots (can be slightly pickled ahead of time), chickpeas, peas or beans also work well as substitutes for part of the pasta. The more colourful the salad, the better is a nice rule of thumb imho.

Pasta + mayo/oil dressing + veg + flavorings (herbs/garlic/cheese/bacon bits/pickles)... can be eaten immediately but can/is often eaten cold. Every week I make: pasta + pesto/ricotta combo + halved cherry tomatoes + variety of spices and herbs... but I'm not fast with the prep and usually prepare in the serving bowl so I stir slow so it doesn't go everywhere and the meal ends up luke warm. So by the breakdown, I do eat a pasta salad every week :P

One thing to consider with your low fat ingredients: It's not uncommon for low fat products to try to make up the flavour that the fat would have offered by adding sugars of some kind. (There's a laundry list of words, mostly ending in -ose, that can be used in the ingredients label, all of which are just chemical terms for different sugars.) I'm not suggesting necessarily that *you* need to be concerned about the added sugars in these low fat products, just that it's something to be aware of if you're on a diet that tries to avoid added sugars. Personally, avoiding added sugars is a prime directive of my diet. I'm reasonably convinced by the insulin hypothesis for the cause of obesity, so my weight loss plan is about reducing insulin levels and insulin resistance (reducing insulin resistance is also just a good idea in general for anyone who wants to avoid type 2 diabetes, because high insulin resistance is exactly what that is). Sugar typically has a rather large effect on insulin levels (fructose less so, but it directly contributes to insulin resistance), so generally avoiding anything that has sugar added to it is a good idea. Fat has a pretty minimal impact on insulin levels, so I don't seek out low fat substitutions for things.
