Easy Pasta Salad Recipe

We love a good pasta salad anytime, and this one has quickly become a favorite. It’s full of flavor, and it’s very versatile. While many pasta salads are cream-based, this one is oil-based. It reminds me of the pasta salads my grandmother would make in the summer. She always had a homemade vinaigrette dressing made up in the refrigerator, and she seemed to pour it on everything. This easy Italian pasta salad is the perfect spring or summer side dish and fabulous for a cookout or potluck!

SWAPS

This salad is so versatile! Don’t like pepperoni? Then just double the salami. Feel free to add more dressing or spices! Honestly, you can’t go wrong with experimenting a bit with this one.
