Hello, folks! How are you doing? I hope this week has been treating you well. Are you looking forward to the weekend? Personally, I am so, so ready for the weekend. So, I am keeping it short and simple today.

And I hope you love pasta salads because I’ve got another one!

Pasta Salad with Salami, Mozzarella and Sun-Dried Tomatoes

This pasta salad recipe is super easy. But the flavour profile is nothing short of spectacular, in my humble opinion. 

It’s packed with Mediterranean flavours including salami, sun-dried tomatoes, tomato pesto, mozzarella, olives, and aromatic herbs. Plus, some fresh vegetables for a crunch, juiciness, and freshness.

It is filling and packed with a ton of flavour and texture, yet it is also fresh and perfect for the summer.

How to Customize This Recipe

Of course, you can customize it to your preference. Don’t like or want to use salami? Use some cooked ham instead. Prefer traditional mozzarella? That’s not a problem; you can use mozzarella balls. Want to add more veggies? Sure! Think of sweet peppers or marinated artichokes. Arugula will also add a nice peppery kick. Don’t have tomato pesto? Just use an extra drizzle of olive oil and balsamic vinegar as the dressing.

The options are literally endless.

Ingredients

• 2 cups (~225 g.) dry pasta or 4 1/2 cups (~800 g.) of cooked pasta – use short type pasta of your choice e.g., fusilli, farfalle, penne, etc.

• 125-150 g. pizza Mozzarella, cubed

• 125 g. salami of your choice, thinly sliced

• 1 1/2 cups (~300 g.) cherry tomatoes, halved if large

• 1/2 English cucumber, sliced

• 1/2 cup green olives (100 g.), sliced or halved

• 1/4 cup (60 g.) sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and sliced

• 1/4 cup (60 g.) sun-dried tomato pesto

• 1 tbsp. (15 ml.) extra virgin olive oil

• 1 tbsp. (15 ml.) balsamic vinegar

• a handful of fresh herbs of your choice (e.g., basil, oregano, parsley)

• freshly ground black pepper

Directions

• Bring a large pot with well-salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente (check the package for recommended cook time). Drain and rinse well under cold water to stop the cooking process.
• Transfer the pasta to a large bowl. Add the mozzarella, salami, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, sun-dried tomatoes, herbs, pesto, olive oil, and balsamic vinegar. Season with some black pepper. Mix to coat. Try and add a little salt, if necessary.
• You can serve it right away, but ideally chill it for at least one hour. Keep the leftovers refrigerated for 2-3 days.
