I have a coworker who would always bring a pasta salad to work and they were always different. I love pasta salads. This is going to be a great to try to follow this recipe. Thanks so much. You have a new subscriber.
how does this hold up in the refrigerator? How long will it last?
Growing up my mom used an Italian dressing as the sauce. It was so perfect for summer.
I’m going to make a pasta salad but with chickpea pasta
Bro you really are the best “YouTube chef”. Love all your videos
Need a chicken response Ethan

Do you still live in Europe?
“Fool” meal version? Or “full”?
I wonder if I have to make pasta salad (almost) every week myself 😅😉 – it looks super tempting! 🤤
please can you let me know, the plastic containers that you use, I see sometimes you also put hot foods in them, where do you buy if from? many thanks
This is how I usually make pastasallad.
I made this for lunch at work. Its going to be a regular thing now 😁
The Gecko is funding Ethan??? Biggest cooking YouTuber fr
Miracle Whip as the dressing.
Would some pickled onions be better for the second pasta salad?
I love Pasta Salad but not when it's super sour and acidic. Which makes it a hit or miss a lot of times.
When are you dropping a cookbook?
Me: damn this looks good…but I don't have pickles.
Also me: But pickled jalapeños are pickles…
Seriously though a really great protein in pasta salad is tuna fish.
I sometimes mix yogurt with olive oil and salt/parmesan as a salt dressing it tastes pretty good, like it because I don't need to dry the Lettuce, it's just clings to it regardless
Have you tried any of the "fake" pastas? I use the ones made with lentils or garbonzo beans, the texture isnt perfectly pasta like, but no too shabby.
I literally watch Ethan because of his beautiful natural red mustache. The food is a great addition. 🤫
Maybe it's cause I've never had anyone else's pasta salad, but I've never had it with mayo. I toss with EVO, parm, and pepper, and use veggies with similar bright flavors. Really refreshing and filling.
Try a little tube pasta, al-dente brown lentils over it, and a Greek salad on top, minus the feta. Add olive oil and lemon juice and you're done
Honestly, I was waiting for one with tuna, I mean, convenience and all. Still, it looks great.
I swear, Ethan has a lot of Weekly meals that I believe he eats like 50 meals a week
I personally eat most of the time pasta with canned tuna, onions, corn and mayo. If you want to make lower cal and higher in protein instead of mayo use tzatziki (greek yogurt with lemon juice, salt, garlic and cucumber) as dressing.
I hate that these mayo things are called "salad". So many times in my childhood I'd order a "chicken salad" expecting lettuce and veggies with grilled chicken.. but instead receiving a pile of mayo.
Msg lol
Fuck Geico, they canceled my plan for two speeding tickets and an "accident" where I scratched a car. Over a 3 year period. Anyway back to your regularly scheduled program….
Should try this with the lentil or chickpea pasta. Nicer macro. I wonder if they'd work well
Ethan, I am not sure if you will see this message or not. I have been enjoying your video series on the low calorie healthy meal versions of different recipes. I would like to make a request. Could you please do a healthy take on General Tso's chicken? Thank you for helping me lose weight and be a healthier person.
Hey, glad to see you only have 50 ads per video now.
Never understood pasta salad. Cold past is disgusting
I made pasta salad with a lot of vegetables (blanched broccoli, sauté mushrooms and carrots, red bell peppers, olives, onion, chickpeas, herbs,etc) with a garlic olive oil and vinegar dressing. But since my husband went gluten free I just leave out the pasta.
You could probably use quinoa pasta or red lentil pasta too for a bit more protein !
Wow yummy and delicious 😋❤❤❤❤👍stay connected visit my channel Thanks friend
LOL. Adding that tiny bit of pickle juice to what looks like a kilo of pasta makes me think of a bit by Hannibal Buress where because he’s poor, he doesn’t get rid of the pickle jar when it’s empty but keeps it so he can flick pickle juice on his sandwiches
I am with you on the pasta salad, especially as the more balanced, main dish style!
I like to recreate am Italian sub into a pasta salad or a gyro as one too! Please reply if anyone has any other good ideas

Dude I really like your channel, but I have noticed a major opportunity in your view of making meals healthier/more diet appropriate: it is not about cutting calories and adding a whole bunch of proteins.
You make a meal healthier and better to lose weight by replacing the foods void of nutrients or the poisons and replacing them with nutrient dense versions.
For example here: the obvious problem with the pasta salad was that the pasta is white pasta, hence it is a processed food without any nutrient. That will mess up your insulin sensitivity and drive nutritional deficiencies which will make your body continue to store fat and will prevent it from being at an optimal health.
Instead replace the white pasta with whole-wheat pasta. You go from a refined carb that spikes your insulin and provides no nutrients to a food your body will actually thank you for.
The other issue with the original version is the mayo: not because it is caloric but because it is likely made with a vegetable oil such as canola/sunflower or such really high omega 6 oils which will spike inflammation in your body and make it much harder to be healthy and maintain insulin sensitivity. Instead make mayo with olive oil or maybe avocado oil and you're good to go.
Finally on removing the poisons: modern American wheat is extremely poorly tolerated by our bodies and unless you go with a whole-wheat pasta from Italy or one that uses a heirloom variety of wheat you will have a hard time being healthy and losing weight.
Hope that helps.
FYI I only work out 3 times a week 30 minutes each time and I have a six pack by following those principles. I used to have a belly and work out like a donkey and wondering why I couldn't lose the fat until I understood that basically a good diet is simply a diet based on whole foods and avoids any poison.
Pasta salad with sugar and vinegar is absolutely the worst.
What about just using a protein pasta? Seems like a no-brainer to really crank up the macros.
I was just looking for recipes like this yesterday when I got the notif for this video. Looks great!
