Pasta salad is possibly my favorite food. There are endless ways to make it unique and Altruda's Dressing is just one. Here is my spin on a classic Antipasto Pasta Salad and it is SO GOOD. Make sure you let it sit at least overnight to let the dressing fully marinate.
Serving size: 12 if you aren't hungry, 6 if you are
Ingredients:
- Rotini Pasta - 1 box
- Shaved Brussel Sprouts - 1 bag (I used the pre-shredded kind from Whole Foods)
- Cherry Tomatoes - 1 pint halved
- Quartered Artichoke hearts - 1 can (in brine)
- Salami - 10.5 oz Boars Head Genoa Salami and diced into chunks
- Pepperoncini peppers - 1/3 cup slices + 1/3 cup juice from jar
- Parmesan cheese - 1 cup (plz plz shred your own)
- Altruda's Italian Dressing and Marinade - I probably used at least 3/4 of the bottle. No judgement if you use the whole bottle.
Directions: Cook rotini pasta al dente according to package directions. Wait until pasta completely cools and combine all above ingredients together, making sure you shake the dressing thoroughly before using. Pour about 1/3 cup of the Pepperoncini juice into the mixture. Mix thoroughly and refrigerate for at least 6-8 hours.
