KAREN'S PASTA SALAD

There are many pasta salads on Food.com, but the addition of a few ingredients makes this one even better, in my opinion. It is a beautiful salad with all the colors of the Italian flag. Smells great, tastes great. It's hearty enough with the meats and cheeses to even be a light entree.

Steps:

  • Salad:.
  • Cook rotini until not quite done - barely al dente -- so the spirals are still very tight. Rinse in cold water to stop the cooking. (The marination of the salad in the dressing will finish "cooking" the pasta perfectly.)
  • Add remaining ingredients, being careful to separate each slice of meat and cheese when you add it.
  • Gently mix the dressing into the salad.
  • Marinate at least 6 hours before serving.
  • Dressing:
  • Mix all dressing ingredients together well by using a stick blender, whisk, or just a jar for shaking.
  • Taste before adding entire mixture to salad to adjust seasonings.
  • NOTE: (I frequently prepare a double batch of dressing as sometimes, after marinating in one recipe of dressing, it needs a bit more. The remaining dressing is great on any salad, like fat slices of vine-ripened summer tomatoes with fresh basil, or a Greek salad with romaine, feta and olives.
