For a vegetarian option, substitute the salami with marinated artichoke hearts or roasted red peppers. To elevate the flavors, consider adding a splash of red wine vinegar or a squeeze of fresh lemon juice to the dressing. Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences. Cherry tomatoes, cucumber, or zucchini would also be delicious additions. This pasta salad is even better the next day, as the flavors continue to meld and intensify.
