Easy Bruschetta Pasta Salad Recipe

Simple 3 Ingredient Pasta Salad

arugula Bruschetta pasta salad

Here is an easy bruschetta pasta salad that always gets rave reviews, even though it takes minimal effort to make it.

The ‘secret’ to this fabulous recipe is ready to use bruschetta from Trader Joe’s or you can use another favorite brand.

Bruschetta is similar to a regular pasta sauce, but not the same.

It is typically chunky and often has olive oil and balsamic vinegar as ingredients, which are what make this great in a pasta salad.

You can buy it in shelf stable jars, if you’d like.

Or check the refrigerated section of your grocery story, if you prefer.

I like to use the fresh refrigerated bruschetta, but the jars are fine and great to keep on hand for a quick meal.

Pasta salads are popular for picnics and parties, so it is great to be able to make a delicious one so easily.

Make it the night before or in the morning.

Then, refrigerate the pasta salad, so you can eat it later.

I love doing this, when the weather is hot in the Summer.

This saves me from heating up the house when the weather is extra hot.

The pasta salad is dairy free and vegan as is.

If you follow a gluten free diet, the recipe works fine with a gluten free fusilli pasta and GF bruschetta.

Don’t you love it, when an easy recipe is absolutely delicious?
