I tried this recipe Monday. I love the dressing! Delizioso! ❤️
Saw Giada post about it on Instagram and it looked good and easy. Other than using Genoa salami instead of hard (because I forgot which when I went to the grocery store) I did this exactly. Super good!!! I probably ate 2 servings (and would have had a third). I told my husband I’m making this for every dinner we get invited to from now on. Thanks!
Happy 4th! Just saw this post and had a lot of ingredients on hand to make a pasta salad with your salad dressing recipe. Thank you for the inspiration.
