A Note From feedfeed
This Antipasti Style Pasta Salad is a part of our DeLallo Foods pasta salad marathon! It is chockful of roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, olives, provolone cheese, fresh basil and arugala for a fresh and spicy kick.
A Note from The Feedfeed: Feeling Greek? By making a few swaps you can take this Italian-inspired pasta salad south to Greece! Swap 1: Use DeLallo Organic Whole Wheat Orzo instead of Whole Wheat Orecchiette.Swap 2: Skip the roasted red peppers and replace them with DeLallo Stuffed Grape Leaves. In addition to the red wine vinegar, add the juice and zest of one lemon to the dressing. Swap 3: Instead of the DeLallo Antipasti Provoloni, use DeLallo Greek Feta Salad. Swap 4: Skip the Salami and replace with 1 cup chopped cucumbers and 1 cup chopped fresh tomatoes. Last but not least, hold the arugula and basil and add 2 tbsp of chopped fresh oregano instead!
