This is the most delicious salad I've had in a long time. The dressing is just fabulous and is included with the recipe. The taste is very fresh. This is perfect for lunch, or a potluck. Ingredients:
4 ounces medium whole wheat pasta shells |

1 lb fresh broccoli florets |
4 ounces mozzarella cheese, cubed |
4 ounces hard salami, cubed |
7 ounces lean deli ham, cubed |
3 ounces sliced turkey pepperoni, halved |
1 large green pepper, cut into chunks |
4 ounces sliced ripe olives, drained |
1 tablespoon olive oil |
1/4 cup red wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons lemon juice |
1 teaspoon italian seasoning |
1 teaspoon fresh coarse ground black pepper |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, drain giardiniera, reserving 3/4 cup liquid.
2. In a large bowl, combine giardiniera, broccoli, mozzarella, salami, ham, pepperoni, green pepper and olives. Drain pasta and rinse in cold water; stir into meat mixture.
3. For dressing, in a small bowl, whisk the oil, vinegar, lemon juice, Italian seasoning, pepper, salt and reserved giardiniera liquid. Pour over salad and toss to coat. Refrigerate until serving.
