Erin Clarke’s Delicious Pasta Salads Are the Best of Both Worlds

Pasta salads deserve all the attention they’re getting—and probably even more—for doing a great job combining our favorite comfort dish and healthy dish into one. Erin Clarke loves them as much as the rest of us, and here are some of the most delicious pasta salad recipes she shared on her blog Well Plated.

Italian Chicken Pasta Salad

Pasta is one of the most popular Italian dishes, so it’s no surprise that many of Clarke’s recipes for pasta salads pay homage to Italian cuisine—starting with this chicken pasta salad.

Italian Pizza Pasta Salad

Speaking of Clarke’s healthy and delicious dishes inspired by Italian cuisine, this one will make you feel like you’re eating pasta, pepperoni pizza, and salad at the same time.

Cool Mexican Pasta Salad

After transporting us to Italy with the previous two pasta salads, Clarke decided to explore Mexican cuisine this time around. Avocados and jalapeños are two of the salad’s main ingredients, but the tangy homemade dressing is the star of the hour.

BLT Pasta Salad

BLT sandwich is a beloved American staple, and it inspired many other dishes over the years—including this pasta salad made with bacon, lettuce, and cherry tomatoes.
