Italian Pasta Salad

This weekend is a 3 day weekend...Labor Day! I thought I would share one of my favorite salads. This is one of my go-to Pasta Salads & it's perfect for big crowds.
This is basically an Antipasto Italian Pasta Salad...all the good things of an Antipasto platter...salami, olives & cheeses. What's not to like?!?!

Here is what you need:

- One box of Rainbow Rotoni, cooked & drained
-Salami
-Diced Red Onion
-Manzailla Olives
-Sliced Black Olives
- Artichoke Hearts
- Cheddar Cheese Cubes (I cut up cheese sticks)
- Parmesan Cheese
- Italian Salad Dressing

Directions:
Cook & drain Pasta according to package directions

While your pasta was cooking, here are the items you need to prep....

I use my kitchen scissors ALL THE TIME! They are so convenient to use.
I just cut up the salami in strips:

I do the same thing with the cheddar cheese sticks.

I use 5 cheddar cheese sticks for this salad.

Then, I drain the green olives....

I use the kitchen scissors to cut up these olives also (I can't find them pre-sliced)

After you prep these ingredients, your pasta should be done cooking. Drain & put pasta in a large serving bowl.

Add the chopped cheddar cheese, salami, green & black olives, diced red onion & can of drained artichoke hearts:

This salad is so pretty & colorful :)

Drizzle the Italian dressing on the salad & mix it all together!

This salad is perfect for a crowd! Or you can make a batch of it & have it for lunches during the week.

I forgot to put the Parmesan cheese in the photo above, but after I toss the salad, I add some!

I add a big handful of Parmesan cheese to the salad.

Mix it up & then cover your salad and put it in the fridge to chill.

It needs to chill for a couple hours before you serve it.

I like making it the night before, it gives the salad more flavor.

I love serving this with my Instant Pot BBQ Ribs!

 I hope you like this salad as much as we do!
