It's charcuterie in pasta salad form! Fusilli pasta, Genoa salami, sourdough bread croutons, Asiago cheese, red onion and arugula, all tossed in a homemade balsamic Italian dressing.
When it comes to Summer salads, it’s nice to have options. If you’re looking for a pasta salad that uses a vinaigrette dressing instead of creamy dressing, this is it!
And if you’re looking for a pasta salad that is hearty enough for a meal, this pasta salad is it, too. With meat, cheese and bread, it’s charcuterie in pasta salad form.
