ITALIAN PASTA SALAD WITH FRESH VEGETABLES
This is a great summer meal-in-one. Its bursting with fresh-from-the-garden goodness with added spark from the salami. Be as creative as you like with the optional veggies. I often have a few handfuls of something from the garden or a half a cup of leftovers that go right in. Even if you don't particularly like anchovies try adding the anchovy paste at least once. You don't really taste it -- it just improves the flavor of the dressing. Try it at your next potluck or picnic!

Steps:
- Mix ingredients for dressing in a bowl and set aside.
- Cook and drain pasta.
- Toss with 1/4 cup dressing.
- Add remaining ingredients to dressing in bowl and mix.
- Combine with pasta and chill before serving.
Tips:
- Choose the right pasta: Short pasta shapes like penne, rotini, or macaroni are ideal for pasta salad because they hold the dressing well and are easy to eat.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking the pasta until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and lose its flavor.
- Let the pasta cool completely: Before adding the dressing, let the pasta cool completely. This will help the pasta to absorb the dressing better and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Use a flavorful dressing: The dressing is what really makes a pasta salad special. Use a dressing that is flavorful and has a balance of acidity, sweetness, and saltiness.
- Add a variety of vegetables: Vegetables add color, flavor, and texture to pasta salad. Choose a variety of vegetables that you like and that will hold up well in the salad. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, carrots, and celery.
- Add some protein: Protein can help to make a pasta salad more filling and satisfying. Add some cooked chicken, shrimp, or tofu to your salad.
- Garnish with fresh herbs: Fresh herbs can add a pop of color and flavor to pasta salad. Try garnishing your salad with basil, parsley, or cilantro.
Conclusion:
Pasta salad is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or a picnic. With so many different variations, there is a pasta salad recipe out there for everyone. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pasta salad a try.
