Italian Pasta Salad

There are so many ways to mix up your ‘pasta’ routine. It does not always have to be noodles and sauce and noodles and sauce. This Italian Pasta Salad is refreshing and a great way to use up some of the random vegetables you have around the house before they go bad. It is also a great excuse to indulge in some great quality cheese and salami. You can use any oil dressing you wish (a Greek dressing would actually be good too or Italian dressing, but we like to keep it simple with oil, salt & pepper).
