A refreshing pasta salad using Frantoia Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil and Wild Garlic Herb Seasoning mixed with fresh veggies, salami and pecorino cheese.
Ingredients
-
1 Pasta Rock
-
½ lb Orecchiette Pasta
-
1 tsp Mustard
-
1 Tbsp Wild Garlic Dried Herb Blend
-
6 Tbsp White Balsamic Vinegar
-
6 Tbsp Frantoia Italian Extra Virgin Olive Oil
-
2 cups Broccoli Florets
-
2 Carrots
-
¼ lb Salami
-
¼ cup Provolone Cheese, cut into ¼" cubes
Directions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Once boiling, add a pasta rock for 2 minutes to salt your water then remove. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 2 minutes short of package directions. Drain the pasta and set aside.
To make the dressing, whisk together the mustard, herb seasoning blend and vinegar in a small-medium sized bowl. While whisking, slowly drizzle in the olive oil.
Cube into bite size pieces the broccoli, carrots, salami, and pecorino cheese. Toss the meat and veggies with the cooked pasta and dressing.
Enjoy this salad right away or give it a chance to marinate by making it a few hours in advance.
Recipe Note
If you don't have Pasta Rocks on hand it is still important to season your pasta water! Salting the water is the only time the pasta itself is going to be seasoned so make sure your water is salty like the sea. We recommend adding 1 Tbsp of salt for every 4 quarts of water.

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
