Description

This recipe brings all the bold, savory flavors of your favorite Italian grinder sandwich into a cool, creamy pasta salad. I first made it for a family BBQ, and it disappeared before the burgers hit the grill! With tender pasta, smoky meats, sharp cheese, and that creamy, tangy dressing, it’s the kind of dish that’s made for sharing—and asking for seconds.
