Instant Pot Pasta Salad
Report
This Instant Pot Easy Pasta Salad Recipe is delightful! It has so much built-in flavor from the rotini being cooked in Italian Dressing. The pasta salad is then stocked full of salami, feta cheese, tomatoes, and bell peppers. Did someone say picnic?!

Ingredients
- 8 oz rotini noodles dry
- 1 cup Italian dressing
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 bell pepper chopped, orange
- 1 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 1 cup cherry tomato halved
- 3 oz salami cut into pieces
Instructions
- Open the lid of your Instant Pot, and add 1 cup Italian dressing and 2 cups chicken broth. Add 8 oz noodles into the Pot, making sure that all of the noodles are covered by the liquid. Put the lid on the Instant Pot and turn it to HIGH for 6 minutes. Once the cooking cycle is complete, perform a Quick Release.
- Pour the noodles and the extra liquid into a bowl, and place in the fridge for about a half an hour.
- At the end of the half hour, check on your noodles. They should be cold and should have absorbed the rest of the liquid in the bowl.
- Add 1 cut up bell pepper, 1 cup feta cheese, 1 cup cherry tomatoes, and 3 oz salami. Stir and enjoy! If you like a stronger Italian dressing flavor or more liquid in your pasta salad, you can add ½ cup of Italian dressing into the bowl after tasting and stir.

Notes

- If you do not want to cook your pasta in chicken broth, you can also use cold water.
- If you don't like italian dressing, you can add any other salad dressing that sounds good to you!
- Save the leftovers for an easy lunch to take to work
- Italian Dressing: I like to use store bought Italian dressing for ease of preparation, but you can also make it from scratch if you’d like. Feel free to try this Italian dressing recipe, but omit the parmesan cheese!
- Feta Cheese: You can use pre-crumbled feta cheese or buy a block and crumble it yourself!
- Bell Pepper: I use orange bell pepper, but feel free to choose another color if you’d like that better!
- Salami: I cut each slice of salami into 8ths for perfectly sized pieces.
- Cherry Tomatoes: Cut your cherry tomatoes into halves
- If you do not want to cook your pasta in chicken broth, you can also use cold water.
