Bloody Mary Pasta Salad

I served a make your own bloody bar at my place a few weeks ago and I had all these leftover pickles and olives so I decided to throw them into a pasta salad. I love bloody marys, it’s one of those things I never liked and then a few years ago became obsessed with them. I love this pasta salad because it looks like a regular pasta salad but tastes like a bloody mary. One of the most important things was the pickled carrots and green beans, but I think it is important to adapt this to however you like your bloody mary.

All the ingredients in a bowl. I like to add hot pasta to pasta salad ingredients the way you would if you were making a hot pasta dish to help everything come together.

Looks like a regular pasta salad but the worcestershire, horseradish, and hot sauce give it that classic bloody mary flavor. All the pickled veggies give this a great bright flavor.
