Antipasto Pasta Salad - Food Wishes
It somehow seems wrong naming a pasta salad after a dish specifically designed to be served before the pasta course, but if this incredibly delicious, colorful salad is wrong, I don’t want to be right. This would be great as a cookout side dish, or add a hunk of bread, and a glass of wine, and make it a meal all by itself. Enjoy!

Antipasto Pasta Salad
Antipasto Pasta Salad is my latest summer obsession, with all the makings of a classic Italian antipasto.⬇️⬇️???????? CLICK FOR RECIPE ????????⬇️⬇️ #antipasto #antipastopasta #antopastopastasalad
PRINT THE RECIPE ➡️
Ingredients ⬇️
19 ounces frozen tortellini
4 ounces Genoa salami, cut into 1/4-1/2″ cubes
4 ounces smoked turkey, cut into 1/4-1/2″ cubes
4 ounces honey baked ham, cut into 1/4-1/2″ cubes
4 ounces Asiago cheese, cut into 1/4-1/2″ cubes
8 ounces grape tomatoes, halved
1/4 medium red onion, sliced thin
1 cup marinated artichoke hearts , chopped
1/4 cup black olives, sliced
1/4 cup Manzanilla Spanish olives, sliced
Zesty Italian Dressing
Zesty Italian Dressing
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 strips roasted red pepper, finely minced
3 red onion slices, finely minced
6 Manzanilla Spanish olives, finely minced
1 tablespoon dried Italian Seasoning
1/2 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
Instructions ⬇️
Prepare the dressing: In a large bowl combine dressing ingredients. Whisk until well combined. Set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook tortellini according to package directions. Remove from heat and drain pasta. Pour tortellini into dressing and toss to combine. The tortellini will soak up some of the dressing and give it an amazing flavor.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare deli meats and cheeses: cut meats and cheese into bite size pieces, approximately 1/4-1/2” in size.
Reserve cheese until pasta is completely prepared (or it may melt from the heat of the pasta). Add cut up meat to tortellini and gently stir until well combined. Toss in tomatoes, onion, artichoke hearts and olives. Add cheese. Stir to combine.
Refrigerate until ready to serve (up to overnight).
Serve and enjoy.
