Creamy Coleslaw Pasta Salad Recipe
Why is it the most obvious ideas are sometimes the ones we never think of?
We love Coleslaw. We love Pasta Salads. The idea of putting them together in a Coleslaw / Pasta Salad should have been obvious.
Well… unfortunately, we didn’t think of this good idea. But we sure do know a good idea when we see one!

Creamy Coleslaw Pasta Salad Recipe
Okay, so maybe you have thought of Creamy Coleslaw Pasta Salad or maybe you have seen a recipe. But we hadn’t. Which is strange because these are two of our traditional Southern Party favorites.
Luckily for us – and our hungry friends – we did see it eventually in, of all places, a cooking magazine from Australia – Recipes +.
Our friends Down Under do know a thing or two about having a good time and eating outside (Shrimp on the Barbie, anyone?), so we are not surprised they came up with this wonderful combination and delicious recipe.
We are just surprised we didn’t.

Coleslaw and Pasta Salads
Coleslaw and Pasta Salads are beloved side dishes and party favorites, as at home on the dinner table as they are on a picnic table or a fold up table before a football game.
Coleslaw is a refreshing and crisp combination of shredded cabbage, carrots and , occasionally, other vegetables, all dressed in a tangy and creamy dressing. This versatile dish has roots in Dutch cuisine but has become a staple in various culinary traditions, particularly American barbecue and Southern cooking.
Pasta salad is a versatile and crowd-pleasing dish that brings together the heartiness of pasta with an array of vibrant, fresh ingredients. This cold salad is a celebration of textures and flavors, typically featuring cooked pasta combined with crisp vegetables, such as cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers, creating a colorful medley. The possibilities for customization are extensive, allowing for the inclusion of proteins like grilled chicken, shrimp, or salami, as well as various herbs and cheeses.
The popularity of both coleslaw and pasta salad stems from their ability to complement a wide range of main courses, from barbecued meats to fried chicken and sandwiches. Their refreshing nature makes them popular choices during warmer seasons, offering a cool contrast to heartier dishes.
