Italian Pasta Salad
This pasta is a good mix of different Italian flavours like salami, roasted capsicums, olives and feta cheese dressed in a balsamic vinaigrette, a common salad dish here in New Zealand which is a good pair with roasts. I see this a lot in the salad section in the supermarkets here but they don’t have that much ingredients on it, all you see are overcooked pasta and red capsicums, we tried buying some before which tasted average but I am looking for more flavour so I made some at home.
Ingredients
200g spiralli or bow tie pasta
2 roasted red capsicum, sliced
1/2 cup salami, cubed
15 pcs black olives, sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 cup crumbed feta cheese
25 pcs cherry tomatoes, cut in half
2 tbsp mayonnaise
2/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette dressing
freshly ground black pepper
Method
1. Cook pasta according to packet instruction, once cooked drain and rinse with cold water until cool. Set aside.
2. Mix together balsamic dressing and mayonnaise.
3. Toss everything together, chill then serve.

Oooh so very pretty! a nice one dish meal, I like that for summer eating!
That salad looks delicious and beautiful–a great combination.
Will this recipe work if I used 20 cherry tomatoes instead of 25:) Just kidding. I make a similar salad every so often, its quite refreshing
That salami is enough to make me hungry! Great, simple recipe.
I could eat this every day of the week and not get tired of it! It’s a perfect pasta salad for me and I’d love some for lunch right now!
I haven’t had an Italian Pasta Salad in a very long time. This looks absolutely great and summery
