Step 1

Combine together all of the dressing ingredients and whisk together until emulsified. Alternatively, use a food processor or blender. Taste test the dressing and season with salt and pepper if required.

Step 2

Cook pasta in salted water until al dente, then drain and rinse until cold.

Step 3

In a large bowl, mix together the pasta, mozzarella, salami, tomatoes, capers, and olives.

Step 4

Pour half of the dressing on top of the pasta and mix well. If you need more dressing, add a bit at a time to get the consistency just right. The remaining dressing can be served on the side or saved in the fridge for a green salad during the week.

Step 5

The Italian pasta salad flavor will taste much better if chilled for at least an hour before serving. Enjoy!
