Pasta salad is a summer staple for any gathering. However, there are so many ways you can serve it up. Well, I have a tasty way to serve it up for you all today. It’s an Italian sea shell pasta salad.

What makes this salad amazing and loved by all is the diced pepperoni and salami. Now, if you’d rather make this with sliced pepperoni and salami, that works too. Just cut the slices into strips and add it in the salad.

The other thing that make’s this salad amazing is the simple homemade dressing. It only requires a few ingredients but ,definitely tastes different that the traditional Italian dressing from a bottle.
