Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Healthy Pasta Salad
- Begin by bringing a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add fusilli pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Once done, drain the pasta and rinse under cold water.
- In a mason jar, combine dried thyme, oregano, lemon juice, olive oil, Dijon mustard, maple syrup, and pepper. Shake the jar vigorously for about 30 seconds until well blended.
- While the pasta cooks, dice your cherry tomatoes, red onion, cucumber, black olives, and red bell pepper into bite-sized pieces. Add the diced salami and chopped parsley to a large mixing bowl.
- Once the pasta has cooled, add it to the bowl with the prepared veggies and salami. Pour the dressing over the top and toss everything together until well coated.
- Cover the mixing bowl and refrigerate the salad for at least one hour to allow the flavors to meld.
