Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 1 lb short pasta: rotini, cavatappi, or penne work beautifully
  • 8 oz Amish Country Cream Havarti Cheese, cubed
  • 6 oz hard salami, sliced or diced
  • 1 large English cucumber, diced
  • 1 pint halved cherry or grape tomatoes,
  • 1 /4 cup sliced black olives
  • 1 cup of your favorite zesty Italian vinaigrette

Method
 

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook your pasta according to the package directions for al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water until completely cooled.
  2. While the pasta cooks, chop your cucumber, tomatoes, and salami. Cube the Amish Country Cream Havarti into bite-sized pieces.
  3. In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, cubed Havarti, salami, cucumbers, tomatoes, and black olives.
  4. Pour the Italian vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently until everything is evenly coated. You can serve this immediately, but letting it chill in the fridge for an hour really lets those delicious flavors meld together!
