New Recipe: Antipasto Pasta Salad

Happy Tasty Tuesday!

Now that Memorial Day is here and past, it's officially BBQ season! I love a hot dog or hamburger as much as the next girl, but its the sides that really make or break a BBQ. This past weekend I whipped up a tasty pasta salad with an antipasto twist for a Memorial Day get-together. This recipe is very easy to make, takes about 20 minutes from start to finish to complete which makes it a great dish to bring along with you on your summer journeys.

Ingredients:

• 1 pkg of Italian Dressing/Seasoning Mix (similar to this)
• 3 tbsp water
• 3 tbsp vegetable oil
• 1 box of rotini pasta (I bought the multi-colored kind to make it more colorful)
• 1/4 lb salami, sliced and diced
• 1/2 package of pepperoni, sliced and diced
• 1 small package of fresh mozzarella, sliced and diced
• 1 small can of diced olives, drained

Directions:

• Cook pasta according to box directions, drain and let cool
• Mix water, vegetable oil and Italian dressing mix together.
• Add pasta to dressing, stir to combine.
• Slice up fresh mozzarella, salami and pepperoni and add to pasta mixture.
• Add drained diced olives and stir
• Refrigerate for an hour, so salad is cool.
• Enjoy!
