Mango salsa pasta salad

Mango salsa pasta salad from @bijouxandbits

Guh, summer is totally flying! I’m already thinking about fall recipes. I love that, but it just feels so sudden. I wanted to celebrate one of the best parts of summer with this recipe: MANGO.

Mangoes are such a good fruit and make an epic salsa. I love me some mango salsa. So I thought I’d take the flavors of mango salsa (mangoes, onions, tomatoes, etc.) and mash it up with a pasta salad. Thus we’ve got mango salsa pasta salad. Oh, it’s good, it’s versatile, it’s vegan, and it’s so so easy.

I love pasta salad in general since it’s an easy way to snag a meatless meal on the cheap with loads of veggies. Chop ’em up, toss them in a quick vinaigrette (recipe included below!), and you’re set for the week.

I’ve already made a few, this Mediterranean pasta salad, a bruschetta pasta salad, and even a pasta-less one that just focuses on some caprese + artichoke + beets bits. Wait, can you have a pasta-less pasta salad? I guess not. Still tasty, though!

The best part of pasta salads is the mixing and matching of ingredients. You can just toss in whatever veggies, cheeses, and meats you have on hand. Sometimes I’ll even use up leftover pasta in various shapes just to clean out the pantry. I’m pretty sure I once rocked some animal shapes with spaceman shapes…

    Nice pasta salad for a simple and cool dinner.
    I have about half a box of veggie pasta left in my pantry.
    Toss that together with my cheese that’s sitting in the back of my frig.
    The beauty of this recipe is that I can mix it up with all my “little-bits”.
    I’m on a big peach thing right now.
    I totally LOVE peaches!
    Maybe I can sub peaches for the mango’s. 😀
    Have a nice day Catherine!

    I made the Mango Salsa Pasta Salad as written. I love it. Next time I’ll cut the olive oil from 1 cup to 1/4 cup.
