Looking for the perfect meal to bring to an upcoming BBQ? Try this Summer Italian Pasta Salad. It’s gluten-free and so easy to make.
I have been making this pasta salad for over 4 years now and in all honesty, I have no idea why I haven’t shared it sooner. It’s loved by all my family and friends. So perfect to bring to any upcoming party, BBQ, or lake trip.
I find this pasta is best eaten on the same day as gluten-free pasta tends to dry out by the next day. But I have still eaten it a day later and all it needs is a little more dressing or oil to loosen it up.
Here’s What You Need
- GF pasta, I like Jovial
- pepperoncini
- salami
- pepperoni
- mortadella
- black olives
- parmesan
- cubbed or fresh mozzarella
- cucumbers
- cherry tomatoes
- red onions
- basil
- olive oil
- dijon mustard
- dried oregano
- red wine vinegar
- bell pepper
