PASTA SALAD FOR 2- – DOWNSIZED COOKING RECIPE

Jump to recipe

Protein Packed Pasta Salad is a great high protein food, delicious and good for you.

It is so cold and snowy here in WV that I could eat a warm bowl of homemade soup every day.  For the past 2 weeks my husband has been asking me to make a pasta salad.  I usually fixed this in the summer or when I need to take something to a covered dish event to feed a large crowd.  My original recipe serves about  10 people.

To please my husband, I made this for my downsized recipe this week.

I call this dish Protein Packed Pasta Salad because of the different meats and cheeses in it.  It is a colorful dish and makes a great side.

I like to buy the meats and cheeses from the deli so that I can get thick pieces and cut them into cubes.

HOW TO MAKE THIS PASTA SALAD:

Boil the pasta, drain and set aside to cool. Place in serving bowl.

Cut the peppers into small pieces and add to pasta.

Cut the ham, salami, and cheeses into 1/2-inch cubes and add to pasta.

Cut tomatoes in half and add to bowl.

Add the dressing slowly, tossing to coat all ingredients.

Cover and chill at least 4 hours.

Gently toss salad prior to serving, drizzle additional dressing if needed.

  This Protein Packed Pasta Salad is loaded with veggies, meats, and cheeses. Colorful, delicious, and perfect to transport to any summer event.
