Pasta Salad

 




It’s almost summertime and who doesn’t love a fresh made pasta salad?  It’s one of my favorite summertime meals and both my kids love it too and make it themselves now that they are grown.  I found this new condiment (Olive Muffalata) while we were shopping at Costco, that I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE!  I see that it is also available on AMAZON if you don't have a Costco membership or friend to take you there!  OMG, I could eat the whole jar in one sitting.  You gotta try it. 

 

2 cups colored pasta, cooked and drained
1 cup chopped ham
1 cup chopped cheese (I used cheddar this time)
½ cup chopped green pepper
¼ cup chopped onion
¼ cup slice black olives
1-2 handfuls of cherry tomatoes, halved
¼-½ cup Olive Muffalata 
¼ cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp. balsamic vinegar
1 tbsp. Italian seasoning
Salt and Pepper

Fresh parmesan cheese (optional)

Cook pasta al dente and drain and cool. Combine pasta with all of the vegetables, cheese and ham; toss to combine.  Fold in olive muffalata, olive oil and Italian seasoning.  Sprinkle with balsamic vinegar and salt and pepper.  Add parmesan if desired.   

 

Enjoy
