ITALIAN DELI PASTA SALAD



Italian Deli Pasta Salad image

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!

Tips:
