A vibrant blend of pasta, fresh vegetables, and Italian dressing that brings the flavors of summer to your table.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz Pasta (such as rotini or penne)
  • 1 cup Cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup Cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup Bell peppers, diced
  • 1/2 cup Red onion, diced
  • 6 oz Salami, sliced
  • 8 oz Mozzarella cheese, diced
  • 1/2 cup Black olives, sliced
  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing
  • Salt (to taste)
  • Pepper (to taste)

Instructions

  1. Cook the Pasta: Start by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add your chosen pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. Prepare Your Veggies: While the pasta cools, dice your vegetables. Chop up the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, and red onion into uniform pieces.
  3. Slice the Salami and Cheese: Cut your salami into bite-sized slices and dice the mozzarella if using a block.
  4. Combine the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, diced vegetables, salami, mozzarella, and black olives.
  5. Dress It Up: Drizzle your Italian dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Chill and Serve: Allow your salad to chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving.

Notes

This salad stores beautifully in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add a splash of dressing if it seems dry after a day.
