Recipe

 I picked up a cheap cookbook the other day.

Salads.

The perfect no-cook summery meal.
I've already made a bunch of the recipes...this one is my favorite though!

Salami Pasta Salad

12 ounces penne pasta

2 tbsp pesto sauce

3 tbsp olive oil

1 orange bell pepper, seeded and diced

1 yellow bell pepper, seeded and diced

1 red onion, finely diced

3/4 cup pitted black olives

6 cherry tomatoes, halved

6 ounces salami, cut into small chunks

4 ounces mozzarella cheese, torn into small pieces

salt and pepper

1) Bring a large pan of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and return to a boil. Cook for 10-12 minutes.

2) Drain the pasta well and transfer to a bowl. Combine the pesto sauce and olive oil and stir mixture into the hot pasta. Let cool, stirring occasionally. 

3) Add the remaining ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Chill until ready to serve!

Enjoy!
