May 14, 2021

Broccoli Grape Pasta Salad – a creamy pasta salad that is always a hit at potlucks! This salad is filled with broccoli, grapes, bacon, pecans, and red onion all in a sweet creamy dressing.

BROCCOLI GRAPE PASTA SALAD

The number one item people are asked to bring to a potluck or BBQ is a side. Usually my go-to is this Broccoli Salad, but this might be might new favorite. Pasta makes this a little heartier and definitely feeds a crowd. The mix of sweet and savory in this dish makes the flavor pop!

INGREDIENTS:

  • Pasta – any shape of pasta can be used here. A short pasta works best though.
  • Broccoli – you could replace this with diced cucumber for a different kind of crunch.
  • Red Seedless Grapes – you can use green grapes here too. 
  • Bacon – great for a salty crunch.
  • Pecans – toasted to bring out the flavor. You could also use sliced almonds here.
  • Red onion – I love onion but if you want a milder onion flavor use sliced green onions.

CAN THIS BE MADE AHEAD OF TIME?

Yes. In fact it’s best chilled for a few hours. Stir in the pecans and bacon right before serving to keep them crunchy.
