You could also use farfalle or penne pasta.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>veggies<\/strong> \u2013 for this pasta salad I used sliced cherry tomatoes (or grape tomatoes), crisp cucumbers and red onion, but you could also add in other vegetables such as chopped bell peppers, broccoli or asparagus.<\/li>\n<li><strong>mozzarella cheese<\/strong> \u2013 I used mozzarella cheese pearls (also known as Bocconcini), but you could also use large balls or slices of mozzarella and simple cut them into pieces.<\/li>\n<li><strong>salami<\/strong> \u2013 spicy salami really gives this pasta salad so much flavor, but feel free to use whatever salami or sausage you like best.<\/li>\n<li><strong>pepperoncini<\/strong> \u2013 this is completely optional, but adds a kick of flavor and spice to this Italian pasta salad!  You could also add in some red pepper flakes for even more spice.<\/li>\n<li><strong>olives<\/strong> \u2013 I used sliced kalamata olives, but feel free to use black olives (or even green olives), if you prefer.<\/li>\n<li><strong>fresh herbs<\/strong> \u2013 a combination of chopped fresh parsley and fresh basil.<\/li>\n<li><strong>dressing<\/strong> \u2013 this easy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/easy-italian-dressing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">homemade Italian dressing<\/a> is what makes this pasta salad so dang delicious!

Drain the pasta and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make the dressing.<\/strong>\u00a0 While the pasta is cooking, you can whip up the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/easy-italian-dressing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Italian dressing<\/a>!\u00a0 Simply whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, parmesan cheese, dijon mustard, honey, garlic, dried herbs, salt and pepper in a jar or bowl and set aside until ready to use.\u00a0<\/li>\n<li><strong>Toss the salad.<\/strong>\u00a0 In a large bowl, mix together the cooked pasta, chopped veggies, salami, mozzarella balls, pepperoncini, olives and fresh herbs.  Drizzle everything with the Italian dressing, giving it a good toss, and season with additional salt and pepper, as needed.\u00a0 <\/li>\n<li><strong>Marinate.<\/strong>\u00a0 You can either serve this immediately\u00a0<em>or<\/em>\u00a0marinate for a few hours before serving.  To marinate, cover the pasta salad and place it in the fridge allowing the flavors to marinate for a few hours or even overnight.  I even like to reserve a little extra dressing to toss right before serving since the pasta really soaks up a lot of it.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1200\" height=\"1710\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" alt=\"This EASY Italian Pasta Salad is loaded with juicy tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh mozzarella, spicy salami, pepperoncini, red onion and olives all tossed together with a zesty homemade Italian dressing!\" class=\"wp-image-24313 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/neomvideos.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/italian-pasta-salad-2-1200x1710-1.jpg\"><\/figure>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Prepping and Storage<\/h2>\n<p><strong>To Store:<\/strong>  The great thing about this pasta salad is that it tastes great warm OR cold and will last up to\u00a0<strong>3 to 4 days<\/strong>\u00a0in your fridge.\u00a0 Just make sure to store any leftovers in a sealed, airtight container.\u00a0 <\/p>\n<p><strong>To Prep:<\/strong>  The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eatyourselfskinny.com\/easy-italian-dressing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Italian vinaigrette<\/a> can be made up to a week ahead of time and stored in the fridge prior to making the pasta salad.
