4th of July Pasta Salad on NBC’s Charlotte Today Show

A 4th of July Pasta Salad recipe taken from my ‘MaMa Mia Cucina’ cookbook.  I love this recipe, which was my grandmother’s recipe, and a favorite for family gatherings.  It’s an antipasti with pasta tossed in the bowl.  It makes a nice portion, so it’s perfect for a crowd.  Enjoy!

Thank you Eugene, Colleen and NBC’s Charlotte Today Team! Love you all & Happy 4th 🙂

Bow Tie Pasta Salad 

1 pound of bow tie pasta, cooked and cooled

½ cup sliced black olives

½ cup green pimento-stuffed olives, sliced

¼ pound provolone cheese, cut into small cubes

½ pound hard Italian salami, cut into small cubes

¼ pound pepperoni cheese, cut into small cubes

3 green peppers, washed, chopped, and seeds removed

1 stalk celery, washed and chopped

1 small onion, peeled and chopped

3 tomatoes, chopped OR 1-1/2 cup cherry or grape tomatoes

Dressing:

½ teaspoons each of salt & pepper, to taste

1 teaspoon oregano

1 tablespoon sugar

2/3 cup olive oil

½ cup white wine vinegar

Whisk together the dressing ingredients, and then combine all ingredients in a very large mixing bowl.  Let the salad marinate for 24 hours and stir well before serving.

I remember this salad from outdoor family picnics and gatherings. It is a great summer salad, and a meal at that!

About Cynthia Ferich

After writing and self-publishing “MaMa Mia Cucina” in 2007, Cynthia's writing, cooking and culinary teachings evolved into being as an entity surrounding food, fun, family and friends.

In an effort to capture her family’s ‘old world’ Italian recipes for future generations to enjoy, her grandmother, ‘Noni’, and Cynthia joined forces. "She measured, I wrote, and we cooked."

During her grandmother's latter 80 years, she traveled in memory through her life, as they shared in stories of a lifetime and long ago. As they shared this final chapter in her life, what Cynthia soon discovered through all of the measuring, cooking, sharing in the love of a family, and in the love of a friendship, was the passion for cooking, and a love that nourishes us all… It’s all about the FOOD!
