pasta salad

Pasta salad (Pasta fredda) is a salad-like dish prepared with one or more types of pasta, almost always chilled, and most often tossed in a vinegar, oil, or mayonnaise-based dressing. It is typically served as an appetizer, side dish or a main course. Pasta salad is often regarded as a spring or summertime meal, but it can be served year-round. There is a debate regarding whether pasta salad is truly a "salad", given that the base is pasta rather than a vegetable.
