Category: Pasta Salads

6 cups Rotini or desired pasta, cooked*
1/4 lb Salami, diced
1 1/2 cups Provolone cheese, diced
1/2 cup Zucchini, sliced
1/2 cup Green pepper, diced

Italian dressing

Italian Dressing
1 cup Salad oil
1/3 cup White vinegar
3 tsp Sugar

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside. Cut remaining ingredients into sizes desired and combine in a medium size mixing bowl. Add pasta and toss to blend. Add Italian Dressing. Toss again to coat all ingredients. Chill several hours to let salad ingredients marinate the dressing flavors.

To serve: Line salad bowls or plates with lettuce leaves. Spoon desired amount of salad on top of leaves. Serve with fresh grated Parmesan on the side, or garlic flavored toast, our favorite quick bread or muffins. Serves 8-10
