Ingredients

  • 3 cups uncooked bow-tie (farfalle) pasta (8 oz)
  • 4 oz hard salami, cut into thin strips about 1x1/4 inch
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, chopped (1 cup)
  • 1/2 medium red onion, chopped (about 1 cup)
  • 1/3 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • 1 package (9 oz) romaine salad mix or 6 cups torn romaine
  • 1/2 cup shredded Parmesan cheese (2 oz)

Steps

  • 1
    Cook and drain pasta as directed on package. Rinse with cold water to cool; drain.
  • 2
    In large bowl, mix pasta, salami, bell pepper and onion.
  • 3
    In small bowl, mix vinegar, garlic and pepper. Add oil; beat with whisk until blended. Pour over pasta mixture and toss to combine. Cover; refrigerate 2 hours or until chilled.
  • 4
    Just before serving, add romaine and toss to combine. Sprinkle with cheese.

Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

  • tip 1
    If you're a pepperoni fan, substitute it for the salami.
  • tip 2
    This salad may be prepared the day before—except don’t add the romaine until right before serving time so it doesn’t wilt.
