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♥
