EASY ITALIAN SALAMI PASTA SALAD
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.

Tips:
- Use quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the salad will taste. Choose high-quality pasta, salami, cheese, and vegetables.
- Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is just tender, but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and ruin the salad.
- Use a variety of vegetables: This will add color, flavor, and texture to the salad. Some good options include tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, onions, and olives.
- Choose a good salami: There are many different types of salami available, so choose one that you like the taste of. A good option is a hard salami, such as Genoa or pepperoni.
- Use fresh herbs: Fresh herbs will add a lot of flavor to the salad. Some good options include basil, oregano, and thyme.
- Make the dressing ahead of time: This will allow the flavors to meld together. You can make the dressing up to 24 hours in advance.
- Chill the salad before serving: This will help the flavors to develop and the salad will be more refreshing.
