EASY ITALIAN SALAMI PASTA SALAD



Easy Italian Salami Pasta Salad image

This is a recipe that is easy to make from ingredients that are often in the fridge/ storecupboard. If it is served straight after the minimum 30 minute chill time, you may find that there is a lot of dressing in the salad- this is so that it doesn't dry out if it is stored in the fridge for a few days. Serves 4 as a side dish but this would also make a good take-to work lunch or potluck dish.

Time 20m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups dry pasta (I use fusilli)
8 large slice salami (4oz)
10 -15 black olives
1/2 cup rehydrated sun-dried tomato
1 yellow bell pepper
1/2 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon parmesan cheese, very finely grated
salt and pepper
10 -15 leaves fresh basil

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions.
  • Meanwhile, cut the salami into strips. Slice the black olives and dice the sundried tomatoes and bell pepper. Set all these ingredients aside.
  • In a large salad bowl, mix the olive oil and red wine vinegar. Whisk with a fork (or whisk) until they are completely blended and the dressing is a uniform colour throughout.
  • Add the parmesan cheese, salt and pepper to the dressing and mix.
  • When the pasta is cooked to your liking, remove it from the heat. Drain it and rinse it in cold water until the pasta is cold. Drain it again.
  • Add the cooled pasta and the chopped ingredients to the dressing in the bowl. Stir well to mix the ingredients together.
  • Cover and chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavours to blend.
  • Just before serving, scatter chopped fresh basil leaves over the top.

Tips:

  • Prep Ahead: Cook the pasta and let it cool completely before adding it to the salad. This will prevent the pasta from absorbing too much dressing and becoming soggy.
  • Use Good Quality Ingredients: The fresher and better quality your ingredients are, the better your pasta salad will be. Use a good quality olive oil, ripe tomatoes, and fresh basil.
  • Don't Overdress the Salad: Too much dressing can weigh down the salad and make it soggy. Add the dressing slowly and taste as you go until you reach the desired flavor.
  • Chill the Salad Before Serving: This will help the flavors meld and make the salad more refreshing. If you're short on time, you can skip this step, but the salad will be even better if you can chill it for at least 30 minutes.
  • Serve with a Side of Bread or Crackers: This is a great way to soak up any extra dressing and add some extra texture to the meal.

Conclusion:

This easy Italian salami pasta salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that's perfect for summer gatherings.
