More About This Recipe

The classic Italian sub comes to life in a tasty pasta salad. All of the flavors of you love—salami, olives, tangy purple onions—tossed together with pasta and a creamy, zingy Italian dressing. This dish takes about 20 minutes to make, and is just right for a simple lunch or lovely light dinner. The pasta needs a quick boil, but other than that this is a completely no-heat recipe. Serve this up on summer nights when the weather outside is too hot for turning on your oven. Tote a double batch to your next potluck (it’s sure to disappear quick!), or prep all of the ingredients the night before, then toss together at lunch for a fresh brown bag option.
