ITALIAN DELI PASTA SALAD
This pasta salad has all my favorite things from the Italian deli - a trio of meats, a mix of cheeses, and giardiniera. I like to switch it up and use other meats like prosciutto, hot calabrese, or mortadella. Giardiniera comes in mild and hot varieties; use whichever you prefer. A good-quality Italian dressing makes a difference too!

- Let the pasta cool completely before adding the other ingredients. This will prevent the pasta from absorbing too much dressing and becoming soggy.
- Use a variety of vegetables. This will add color, texture, and flavor to your pasta salad.
- Don't be afraid to experiment with different dressings. There are many different types of dressings that can be used on pasta salad, so find one that you like and go for it!
- Serve pasta salad chilled. This will help to keep it fresh and flavorful.
