Antipasto Picnic Salad

Everybody just loves this tempting blend of meats, veggies and pasta. It goes together in no time, serves a crowd and tastes as delicious at room temperature as it does cold. Also, it’s chunky enough for the kids to pick out any individual ingredient they might not like! --Michele Larson, Baden, Pennsylvania

thanks DD will love this one

This was a great salad and my guests really enjoyed it. I substituted a 97% fat free ham steak for the deli ham, as I could cube it easily. I also found 97% fat free pepperoni to help cut the fat out on this. I couldn't find hard salami, but did substitute a Hickory Farms summer sausage that went over quite well. I also blanched the broccoli in the pasta as it cooked and drained it all into the colander. I have several requests for the recipe. The only down side of this recipe was that I didn’t have a bowl big enough to mix all the ingredients. Next time I'd easily cut everything in half as it made so much.

This salad is delicious! I will make it again. I halved the recipe and it made a huge bowl!
