Pasta Salad Cooking TipsPlease follow the instructions on the packaging for the pasta cooking time, as each brand has different cooking times. This dish has very few calories, so those who are in the process of losing fat or getting into shape can eat it with confidence.
The overall taste is refreshing with a little sour taste, which is more appetizing and relieves greasiness. You can eat it alone as a staple meal, or you can eat it with some oily and meaty dishes, such as barbecue. In short, no matter how you match it, it can do the job~
There is no red wine vinegar here, or you can just use lemon juice. It all depends on your own preferences and tastes, but if you add it, the taste will be more authentic.
If the herbs here are fresh, it’s best. If you don’t have them, you can use dried ones like I did. The taste is basically the same, but it will lack the fragrance of fresh herbs, and it won’t have much impact on the overall taste.
