This pasta salad has all my preferred matters from the Italian deli – a trio of meats, a combine of cheeses, and giardiniera.
I like to swap it up and use different meats like prosciutto, warm calabrese, or mortadella. Giardiniera comes in slight and warm varieties; use whichever you prefer. A good-quality Italian dressing makes a distinction too!
