Its origin dates back to Italian cuisine, where cold pasta salads are an important part of the summer diet due to their ease of preparation and great versatility. In different Latin American countries, this salad may simply be known as "pasta salad" or, depending on the ingredients, its name may vary. For example, in Mexico and some Caribbean countries, it is customary to add fresh ingredients like avocado or tomato to give it a local touch.
