Mediterranean tortellini salad
Fresh Ingredients Make all the Difference
Home cooks can often overlook the impact of fresh ingredients in creating really memorable flavors all for the sake of convenience. As you look through this brief compilation of pasta salad recipes keep this notion in mind: the recipe will always taste better if you step it up with fresh ingredients.
For example: try to use fresh olives instead of canned, roast and dice your own green chilies or tomatoes, crumble your own cheese, use fresh herbs instead of dried etc. As you grow in cooking knowledge and gain comfort with building flavors in your kitchen, fresh ingredients can still be convenient and make all the difference!
