Deli Pasta Salad is similar to the pasta salad at the deli counter but so much fresher and cheaper.

This deli salad is one of my go-to recipes for having on hand for packed lunches and even to serve as a side at a barbecue.

Deli Pasta Salad

This deli pasta salad recipe I found in my vintage Kentucky sampler cookbook. I’ve made versions of this but never one with hard salami in it.

I love how easy this recipe is to throw together and how well it holds up in the fridge. In fact I have this recipe on the menu for when we spend a week at the lake next month.

How to make Deli Pasta Salad:

Gather these ingredients:

  • Spiral pasta (3 colored pasta)
  • Sliced black olives
  • Diced red onion
  • Hard salami – cut into thin strips
  • Diced green bell pepper
  • Chopped flat leaf parsley
  • Grated parmesan cheese (the kind in the green shaker)
  • Italian dressing (regular or fat-free)

  2. Add remaining ingredients to the bowl and mix well. Refrigerate for 2 hours or longer before serving.

How long can I store pasta salad?

This recipe isn’t mayonnaise based so I keep this salad in the fridge for 3 days. After that it seems the pasta gets mushy. Make sure to keep it in an airtight container or cover in plastic wrap.

Variations:

  • Ham or chicken- use ham or chicken instead of salami for a healthier salad.
  • Balsamic dressing – Add a different flavor to this recipe with tangy balsamic dressing.
  • Additional veggies – Add tomatoes or celery for more color and flavor.

If you can’t find hard salami in the sausage form, buy already sliced salami and into strips.
