A Note from Feedfeed

This Spring Pasta Salad is fresh, flavorful, and packed with vibrant seasonal ingredients! It's the perfect dish for a light and healthy meal, whether you're meal-prepping for the week or serving it as a side at your next gathering. I love adding a can of tuna or white beans for extra protein, making this an easy and satisfying make-ahead lunch. Plus, pasta salad is one of the most versatile dishes—you can throw in whatever is in season! Here’s my go-to spring version.

Recipe Description

This Spring Pasta Salad combines al dente pasta with crisp asparagus, sweet peas, briny olives, and a zippy lemon-feta dressing for the ultimate warm-weather meal. Fresh herbs like dill and parsley brighten up the dish, while radicchio adds a slight bitterness that perfectly balances the flavors. Toss everything together with a simple olive oil and red wine vinegar dressing for a light, yet satisfying, salad that’s bursting with springtime goodness.
