Bowtie pasta with olives, ham, salami, and cheese, served in a white bowl.

Savor the vibrant flavors of a classic New Orleans sandwich with this easy Muffaletta Pasta Salad. Bursting with olive salad, ham, salami, and provolone cheese, this dish is tossed in a Tuscan Herb Olive Oil and Sicilian Lemon Balsamic Vinaigrette. Whether you're celebrating Mardi Gras or simply craving a taste of New Orleans, this salad is a perfect choice!

Ingredients:

  • 8 ounces mini farfalle (fusilli also works well)
  • 4 ounces ham, cubed
  • 4 ounces salami, cubed
  • 4 ounces sharp provolone cheese, cubed
  • 1 15 oz jar of Italian Olive Salad (we Love the Boscoli brand!) (available in the Colorado Springs store)
  • 2 tbsp The Olive Tap's Tuscan Herb Olive Oil
  • 2 tbsp The Olive Tap's Sicilian Lemon Balsamic Vinegar

Directions:

Cook the pasta according to the package directions for al dente. Drain water and set pasta aside to cool some (so cheese doesn't melt when added).
In a large bowl, toss together cooled pasta, ham, salami, provolone cheese, and olive salad (Drain most of the olive oil from the jar of Italian Olive Salad before adding to the bowl)
In a small bowl, whisk to blend the Tuscan Herb Olive Oil and Sicilian Lemon Balsamic Vinegar, add to the pasta mixture and toss to coat.  Transfer to serving bowl.
Serve and enjoy!
