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 high-quality ingredients. Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the final dish. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp celery, and tender salami.
  • Don't overcook the pasta. Pasta should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and unappetizing.
  • Let the pasta cool before adding the other ingredients. This will help prevent the pasta from absorbing too much of the dressing and becoming soggy.
  • Use a light hand with the dressing. You don't want the pasta salad to be too oily or vinegary. Start with a small amount of dressing and add more to taste.
  • Chill the pasta salad before serving. This will help the flavors meld and make the salad more refreshing.
