In this post I’ll be sharing a delicious and easy Colonial Pasta Salad Recipe.
To begin, what is colonial pasta salad? Colonial Dressing from Bob Evan’s is a favorite of ours. I decided to make a pasta salad with it and it’s a winner! Cool and perfect on a hot day. That’s why I call this recipe, colonial pasta salad.

The Colonial dressing is sweet and tangy and woks beautifully with the mix of fresh cooked pasta and savory ingredients in this pasta salad.
