Refreshing Roasted Bell Pepper Pasta Salad

4.8 · 19 ratings
This refreshing roasted bell pepper pasta salad is a vibrant and flavorful side dish. The smoky sweetness of roasted red bell peppers is blended into a zesty sauce with lemon, garlic, and a hint of agave, creating a delicious coating for fusilli pasta. Tossed with peppery arugula, juicy cherry tomatoes, and crisp cucumber, this salad is light, fresh, and satisfying.

Love this recipy so much!! Added Some vegan mozzarella ☺️
Do you think this dressing is freezer proof?

Hi Evelyn! So happy to hear you enjoyed this one, and vegan mozzarella sounds like a delicious addition ☺️

We haven't tried, although suspect that the roasted bell pepper sauce would freeze well. We'd recommend storing it in an airtight, freezer-safe container for up to 2 to 3 months. When ready to use, thaw it overnight in the fridge and give it a good stir or blend, as the texture may separate slightly after thawing. Hope this helps!

Wow, that was soo delicious! Very refreshing and amazing for a barbecue. I had trouble peeling the bell peppers, but will do it again for sure. Thank you

It seems like the arugula tastes better in Europe than it does in my country. The taste of it was a bit overwhelming, but we loved the sauce and would definitely try again with different greens.

Best salad ever!!


Kata - Aug. 5, 2025, 8:02 p.m.

This was delicious! I especially love the sauce/dressing (like another commenter, I used canned peppers because it is too hot in Spain for the oven. Next time, I’m going to add some chickpeas or vegan feta for an extra hit of protein!


Virginie - July 28, 2025, 11:42 a.m.

Loved it! Easy and quick but still delicious!
As it's pretty hot here in Barcelona I used precooked red peppers to avoid using the oven, still perfect!


Tamara - July 25, 2025, 11:09 p.m.

Very easy to make. I wasn't too fond of the arugula in this, but the dressing will work with any good salad base, so definitely making it again.


Chrysiida - July 8, 2025, 3:10 p.m.

Oh that was great! And it's refreshing and perfect for summer or when you have a busy schedule!


nohya Amande - July 1, 2025, 9:43 p.m.

That was very good! Easy to make, loved the sauce! A perfect meal for the way too hot weather we have here, will make it again!


Salina - June 20, 2025, 12:39 a.m.

Willemijn Postel - June 10, 2025, 7:57 p.m.

Lovely, like another commenter posted, definitely worth the little extra effort. Delicious :)


Anna - May 30, 2025, 9:19 p.m.

Very delicious! Perfect for a summer lunch, we enjoyed it in the surprisingly hot London!


Kira - May 26, 2025, 7:35 p.m.

very tasty, just peeling the bell peppers was messy and took more time than expected


S H - May 18, 2025, 7:23 p.m.

I made this today for friends who came over for lunch and I am happy to report they asked for the recipe. It was super tasty and worth the little bit of effort that goes into roasting and skinning the peppers!

PUL small logo PUL Team - May 19, 2025, 5:49 p.m.

Oh others asking for the recipe is always the biggest compliment! Thanks for taking the time to share the review, S H 🤗
