Pasta and vegetable salad with chicken is a dish that combines the freshness of vegetables with the soft texture of pasta, complemented by the protein from the chicken. This recipe has its roots in Mediterranean cuisine, where cold pasta salads are very popular, especially during the warm months due to their ease of preparation and nutritional value.
In different Latin American countries, this salad may be known by various names. For example, in Mexico and some Central American countries, it is often called "chicken noodle salad"; in Argentina and Chile, simply "cold pasta salad". Although each region adds its characteristic ingredients, the essence of this recipe remains: a refreshing, light, and balanced mix.
The combination of fresh vegetables, a simple but tasty dressing, and chicken make this salad an ideal option for both home lunches and informal gatherings. It is easy to adapt with different vegetables depending on the season and personal tastes.
