Creamy Pasta salad

Creamy Pasta Salad is a modern comfort dish that transforms the idea of salad from something light and forgettable into a filling, satisfying meal. Built on perfectly cooked pasta, cooled to maintain its bite, this dish blends fresh vegetables, protein, and a rich, well-balanced cream that coats every ingredient. It is a popular choice for home meals, gatherings, picnics, and celebrations because it is easy to prepare, visually appealing, and loved across age groups.

This pasta salad is especially enjoyed as both a main dish and a side, depending on portion size and pairing. Crunchy green and purple cabbage bring freshness and texture, while carrots, green peas, and red kidney beans add color, fiber, and substance. Chopped hard-boiled eggs deepen the richness and make the salad more filling. What truly defines the dish is the creamy dressing made with mayonnaise, egg yolks, condensed milk, pepper, and lemon juice, creating a smooth, slightly sweet, and tangy flavor that ties everything together.

Creamy Pasta Salad is best served chilled and is perfect for potlucks, weekend meals, or as a make-ahead dish that tastes even better after resting. It reflects the versatility of contemporary home cooking where simple ingredients come together to create something comforting and memorable
