This pasta salad is adapted from Gourmet Magazine and tastes like it came from an Italian Deli. Update: I wanted to add that I like to double the dressing and add more before serving.

We have a great salad here! I did leave out the garbanzo beans cause we don't like them. Added lots of hard salami, and a chunk of pepperoni too. Great tasting salad!Reply

I thought the marinade for this salad was fabulous. Next time, I will double the marinade because I thought mine was a little dry. Any leftover marinade I would like to try with some chicken. I would also try using whole wheat pasta and some artichoke hearts to see how that would be. I have tried other recipes from Roxygirl and they have all been good which is why I tried this one. Once again, she did not disappoint. Thanks again, Roxygirl1Reply
