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

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 cups dry pasta (I use fusilli)
8 large slice salami (4oz)
10 -15 black olives

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.

Yield 4-6

Number Of Ingredients 11

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
1 small shallot, minced

1 cup halved grape tomatoes
1/2 cup torn fresh basil leaves
1/2 cup giardiniera, drained and chopped
1 tablespoon chopped fresh oregano

  • Add some fresh herbs to the pasta salad: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or parsley, will add a pop of flavor and color to your pasta salad.
  • Experiment with different types of salami: There are many different types of salami available, so feel free to experiment to find one that you like. Some popular choices include pepperoni, soppressata, and Genoa salami.
