Gluten free pasta salad

Ingredients

• 2 boxes Jovial gluten-free pasta (I’ve also tried it with chickpea pasta and no one even knew), cooked and cooled

• 3 bell peppers, diced (any colors)

• 1 cucumber, diced

• 1/3 cup salami, sliced

• 1/2–3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled – I’ve done this dairy free too with this brand it also, no one knew

• 1/2-2/3 cup store bought Italian dressing

• Optional: chopped parsley or basil, olives, or red onion for extra flavor

Instructions:

1. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water. Let cool completely.

2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, bell peppers, cucumber, salami, and feta.

3. Pour dressing over the salad and toss until everything is well-coated.

4. Taste and season with salt and pepper as needed.

5. Chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors come together.
