This Manhattan Deli Pasta Salad has been created in partnership with Wish-Bone. All opinions are my own.
The weather is warming up and I’m super stoked that grilling season is here at last! We did some burgers and dogs as well as steak shishkabobs on the grill over the weekend. I made the tastiest pasta salad to pair with our grilled goodies, inspired from Wish-Bone’s Manhattan Deli Pasta Salad.
I started with some cooked twists pasta noodles and loaded all kinds of goodies into the bowl, like fresh roma tomatoes, red onion and green pepper. Then I threw in some sliced olives, hot & spicy pickle pieces, parsley, mozzarella and hard salami.
The new Wish-Bone E.V.O.O. Salad Dressing – Garlic Basil Italian finished the salad off for a super delicious combination. It’s super easy to make and the whole family enjoyed it.
Wish-Bone Extra Virgin Olive Oil is the starter ingredient in the 5 new Wish-Bone E.V.O.O. Salad Dressings that feature the brand’s signature “flavor you can see” quality.
- Garlic Basil Italian
- Roasted Red Pepper
- Lemon Herb
- Sundried Tomato
- Caesar Vinaigrette
Wish-Bone has compiled some one-bottle recipe ideas on their website including a protein, side dish and salad with each Wish-Bone E.V.O.O. Salad Dressing flavor! There are quite a few that I would like to try with the other flavor varieties and you should check them out as well!
I can’t wait to share my twist on the Manhattan Deli Pasta Salad this summer with our family and friends. I’m sort of known as the “salad girl” in our circle and am almost always asked to bring one to our summer gatherings. Some hosts have their favorite that they request each time, and I just know this one will please the whole crowd!
