Italian Pasta Salad with Caramelized Peppers & Onions
This Italian pasta salad has been a staple for summer cookouts. Calamarata pasta is tossed with caramelized peppers and onions, crisp radicchio, fresh mozzarella, spicy calabrese salami, castelvetrano olives, and plenty of fresh herbs. A simple red wine vinaigrette brings everything together. It’s a great dish for summer entertaining – substantial enough to stand on its own, but even better alongside anything coming off the grill.
