There’s nothing quite like a good pasta salad, especially in the summertime. And Mrs. Miller’s Artichoke Spinach Noodles make the perfect addition to any salad – they’re flavorful, nutritious, and add a pop of color and interest. In this recipe, we used thick-cut pepperoni and salami from our local market and cheese from a local producer. Supporting local not only makes food taste better but it’s also better for the environment.
What other foods pair well with Pasta Salad? Hamburgers, hotdogs, you name it! Summertime picnics and barbecues are the perfect time to enjoy this dish. It travels well and can be made ahead of time, which makes it ideal for potlucks and parties. If you do decide to make it a day ahead be sure to reserve some of that delicious dressing to toss on just before serving otherwise it could end up dry.
