Italian pasta salad is rarely dressed with mayonnaise or sour cream. Italians typically use olive oil, various vinegars, and spices as dressings. These impart a wonderful aroma and flavor. Italian pasta salad with chicken is a delicious and filling dish, filled with the freshness and crunch of vegetables, the tenderness of chicken, and the piquancy of salami and red onion.
