Coleslaw Pasta Salad
Coleslaw pasta salad is an easy pasta salad that is creamy, crunchy, and delicious. Crisp coleslaw is combined with pasta, veggies, and a creamy dressing. This is an easy side dish that is great for cookouts, potlucks, and more. A great twist of pasta salad.
Servings: 10
Ingredients
- 16 ounce small pasta like small shells or ditalini
- 14 ounce coleslaw mix
- 2 celery stalks, diced
- 1 English cucumber, diced
- 1 bell pepper, diced
- ½ cup red onion, diced
- 1 cup mayonnaise
- ½ cup sour cream
- 2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Boil the pasta in a large pot according to the package directions. Cook until al dente.
- Drain off the water and then rinse the pasta in a colander with cold water.
- Place the cooked pasta in a large bowl. Add the celery, peppers, onions, cucumbers, and coleslaw.
- Make the dressing by whisking together the mayonnaise, sour cream, vinegar, sugar, salt, and pepper.
- Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture. Toss until everything is coated.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving.
Notes
- Cook pasta to al dente. This will help the pasta hold up to the dressing.
- Rinse the pasta with cold water. This will help stop the cooking process.
- Chill in the refrigerator before serving. Chilling the pasta salad will allow all of the flavors to come together.
- Save a little of the dressing. I like to set aside a little bit of the dressing to add into the pasta salad before serving.
