Make Italian pasta salad your way

  • switch the salami for chorizo or chopped ham.
  • add in some grated Parmesan cheese.
  • play around with the veggies, try grilled courgette slices, cucumber, chopped avocado or sautéed mushrooms.
  • opt for a creamy dressing instead of adding the homemade Italian dressing, or save time and buy a salad dressing you fancy.
