    Antipasti Pasta Salad

    Published: Jan 8, 2014 by Coleen · This post may contain affiliate links.

    Antipasti Pasta Salad

    Antipasti pasta salad — say that three times fast.

    Antipasti is typically thought of as a first course, or even an hors d'oeuvre, since the translation means "before the meal." It's normally served before the pasta course.

    Combing antipasti and pasta in this salad version could be served as a first course, but it could also be served as a side, or even the main course of a lunch or light dinner.

    You can adapt this salad to your taste by adding in anything typically included on an antipasti plate: cubes of provolone, capers, artichoke hearts, marinated mushrooms, anchovies, etc.

    We ate this pasta salad warm, but it can also be served room temperature, or cold. It's a great option to bring to a potluck any time of year.
