I think it depends on how its prepped and what specific ingredients are included. I'm usually not a fan of the ones with crazy veggie and/or meat combos but my local grocery store makes an olive oil, mozz and basil pasta salad that certifiably slaps, throw some fresh cherry tomatoes in there and its a full meal. oh yea, don't forget a dusting of parmigiana reggiano, preferably a 2 year.

Pasta salad is great. Just don't put any BS mayonaise dressing in it
And don't make it 2 days ahead and let the pasta get mushy

Pasta salad is the bomb. My guess is your neighbors can't make it. I've had some mediocre ones even though it's practically impossible to fuck up. It's ideal for outdoor parties because you won't get food poisoning like good ol potato salad so often does after it sits out

Also who puts straight vinegar in pasta salad? Yeah it's a base of Italian dressing (if that is chosen in the specific recipe) but I've never had one that is overpowered by that. I think y'all have just had bad experiences

pasta is delicious
olive oil is delicious
peppers are delicious
Onions are delicious
If you put them all together it's declcous. Mayo is the issue in pasta salad.


But people who put mandarin oranges or cranberries in a salad that has lettuce and tomatoes should plead insanity...

Pasta salad and potato salad both fuck, especially at a barbeque on a paper plate with some brisket or something. If you can't get behind that, it's because of WOKE

Pasta and potato salad are both mid. Not mid in a bad way, they're both just whatever, I'm not loving either but I also don't hate either
