Cook your preferred pasta as per package instructions.
Once cooked, drain and allow it to cool.
In a medium bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, sour cream, sugar, vinegar, both mustards, Worcestershire sauce, and celery salt to create a smooth dressing.
Begin assembling the salad in a large bowl. Start with a layer of lettuce, followed by a layer of cooked pasta.
Then, add your chosen toppings in layers – green peppers, peas, celery, red onion, and your selected protein.
Drizzle the prepared dressing over the layers.
Finish with a generous sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 12 hours, ideally overnight, to allow the flavors to meld.
Before serving, toss the salad gently to evenly distribute the dressing and ingredients.
This Layered Pasta Salad is a versatile dish that can be adapted to your taste preferences.
