A vibrant deli pasta salad recipe that's packed with veggies, salami, and a sherry vinegar dressing. Perfect for lunch, barbecues, picnics, buffets, or easy meal prep.

Tips

  • Pasta shapes - fusilli or penne pasta will also work well.
  • Swap meats - try prosciutto, serrano ham, pepperoni or chorizo slices.
  • This deli pasta salad recipe is easily adapted if you're cooking for less or more people.

Frequently Asked Questions

How far ahead can I make this pasta salad? 

It keeps well in the fridge for 3 to 4 days in the fridge. It actually tastes better after a few hours when the flavours infuse with each other. 

Can I make it vegetarian? 

Yes - just leave out the salami. You can add extra olives, sun-dried tomatoes, or roasted red peppers to bulk it up, if you like. 

Can I freeze pasta salad? 

It's not recommended to freeze pasta salad as the texture of the pasta and vegetables won't hold up after thawing.
