Description
A vibrant, tangy pasta salad with halal salami, mozzarella, and fresh herbs, perfect for picnics or potlucks. Creamy, zesty, and satisfying in every bite.
Ingredients
8 oz rotini or fusilli pasta
8 oz halal salami, diced
4 oz fresh mozzarella, cubed
1 ½ cups cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup cucumber, diced
¼ cup kalamata olives, chopped
¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
¼ cup olive oil
2 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp red wine vinegar
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp capers
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool.
In a large bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, oregano, capers, salt, and pepper to make the dressing.
Add cooked pasta, cubed mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, halal salami, kalamata olives, and fresh parsley to the bowl. Toss thoroughly to coat with the dressing.
Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Stir again before serving if needed.
Notes
Use halal-certified salami for dietary compliance. For a lighter version, substitute half the olive oil with Greek yogurt. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 2 days.
