A really different way to present pasta salad OR your favorite recipe for tuna and chicken salad! A really creative finger food that will impress your guests at picnics, BBQs, and showers! I served this on a bed of lettuce garnished with green and black olives.

Ingredients

18 jumbo pasta shells
½ pound thinly sliced salami
4 cups chopped romaine lettuce
1 cup chopped roma tomatoes
¾ cup seeded and chopped cucumber
¾ cup chopped red onion
½ cup balsamic vinaigrette salad dressing
1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook pasta shells in the boiling water, stirring occasionally until cooked through but firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water until chilled.
Combine salami, romaine lettuce, roma tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion in a large bowl; pour balsamic vinaigrette dressing over salad and toss to coat. Stuff pasta shells with lettuce mixture and sprinkle with Parmesan cheese.

Cook's Notes:

I do not recommend making this the day before as the lettuce will wilt. But you can chop everything up the night before, keeping the lettuce separate. I also found that the shells were easier to stuff when they were cold.
