  • 1 large tomato, coarsely chopped (1 cup)
  • 1 medium cucumber, coarsely chopped (3/4 cup)
  • 1 package (3 ounces) Italian salami, chopped
  • 1/3 cup roasted garlic Italian vinaigrette

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    You can use 3 ounces of pepperoni, chopped, instead of the Italian salami.
  • tip 2
    The pasta shells can be cooked ahead and refrigerated. Cook as directed on package; drain, rinse under cold water and drain again. Toss with a teaspoon of vegetable oil. Refrigerate in a tightly covered container or resealable plastic food-storage bag up to 2 to 3 days.
