Antipasto Pasta Salad is like a combination of antipasto (think about: cured meats, cubed cheese, marinated vegetables, etc) and pasta. It's a meal on its own and can be enjoyed at lunches or potlucks but can also be served as an appetizer or side dish for dinner. It contains super easy ingredients and is very customizable.
