Pasta salad with sweet peppers and dill is a fresh and colorful recipe that combines traditional ingredients with an aromatic touch thanks to fresh dill. This type of salad has European origins, especially in Eastern and Central European countries, where the use of dill is very common in cold preparations and vegetable mixes. In Latin America, this salad is easily adapted with local ingredients and is commonly known as "pasta salad with peppers" or simply "cold pasta salad," although its version with dill is less frequent but increasingly valued for its distinctive flavor. In countries like Mexico, Argentina, and Colombia, different types of vegetables are used, but the principle of combining pasta with fresh vegetables and some homemade dressing is universal.
