This is my kind of picnic salad: crunchy broccoli and carrots, savory salami, and al dente pasta tossed in a bright herb vinaigrette. Wild Garlic Dried Herb Blend and White Balsamic Vinegar of Modena give the dressing a tangy, garlicky punch, and Single Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil ties it all together. Serve this Italian Pasta Salad as a side or make it the main event.
Pro Tip: Turn on Cook Mode to keep your screen awake while cooking.
Ingredients
- 1 Pasta Rocks™
- ½ lb Italian Pasta
- 1 tsp Mustard
- 1 Tbsp Wild Garlic Dried Herb Blend
- 6 Tbsp White Balsamic Vinegar of Modena
- 6 Tbsp Single Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 2 cups Broccoli Florets
- 2 Carrots
- ¼ lb Salami
- ¼ cup Provolone or Pecorino Cheese, cut into ¼ inch cubes
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add Pasta Rocks™ and boil for 2 minutes to season the water, then remove. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes short of package directions. Drain the pasta and set aside.
Whisk together the mustard, Wild Garlic Dried Herb Blend, and White Balsamic Vinegar of Modena in a medium bowl. Slowly drizzle in Single Estate Extra Virgin Olive Oil while whisking to make the dressing.
Cut the broccoli florets, carrots, and salami into bite size pieces. Toss the broccoli, carrots, salami, cheese, and cooked pasta with the dressing until evenly coated.
Refrigerate for a few hours to let the flavors come together, or serve immediately.

I made this and it was delicious! A couple of changes: I left out salami to be vegetarian and blanched the broccoli and carrots.
I noticed some discrepancies in the recipe:
It said orecchiette pasta but the picture was a different pasta
It said provolone in ingredients but directions said in pecorino cheese
