Muffuletta Pasta Salad

Delicious and hearty Muffuletta Pasta Salad, inspired by the classic Italian sandwich.

This time of year, there is so much going on here on the homestead that there aren’t enough hours in the day.

As a matter of fact, just this morning as I write this, we had new life come to the homestead in the form of 12 newborn kits. A kit is a baby rabbit. Both of our does gave birth overnight.

There’s so much happening in fact, that I routinely find myself not coming in until sunset. By then, it’s too late to even think about making something for supper.

So making a big batch of a meaty pasta salad like this and keeping it in the fridge is a lifesaver!

I can come in from mowing the pasture, get cleaned up, can just sit down and enjoy dinner that is already made. Not only that, but because this is such a hearty one, my carnivores don’t complain one bit. It’s a win-win.

Now, when I originally made this recipe, I made it with salami, ham, and pepperoni. But several years ago I stopped eating pork. I still make this dish, but I have swapped out the pepperoni for turkey pepperoni, the ham for honey roasted turkey, and use a beef salami instead.

This dish is equally delicious with the substitutions and you can get creative with the meats according to your own taste or preferences.
