that includes salami, cucumbers, provolone cheese, tomatoes, and some Italian dressing. I had it at a BBQ before but can't find a recipe similar to this with these ingredients.I'm looking for a pasta salad recipe?
I've had this before and it's so easy to make, you won't need a recipe. This is my own recipe, so I'm only guessing at amounts, but I do like to taste as I go! After the setting time, I always taste, re-season and add more veggies if I want. Broccoli, Asparagus, Mushrooms are my favorites, heck, even yellow squash. The colors are beautiful and the flavor is fantastic!
1 lb. Rotini Pasta (Tri-colored is nice) cooked, drained.
Italian Dressing (use your favorite), Balsamic Vinaigrette is better!
1/2 lb. Salami, cut into 1/2'; cubes
1/2 lb. Provolone, same size as salami (Fresh Mozz is great too)
Cherry tomatoes, (yellow and red, if you can get them) cut in half
English Cucumbers, 1'; dice
Red Onions, 1/2'; dice
Black Olives (optional) I personally don't like them
Fresh Ground Pepper
Parmesan Cheese, Flat Leaf Parsley to garnish
Combine all and let set for about 3 hours, toss before serving and add more dressing if necessary. For a little kick, you could add some crushed red pepper flakes. I hope this helps you to enjoy the Pasta salad you loved so much!I'm looking for a pasta salad recipe?
