While we love a good pasta salad as much as the next guy, it's just not an option for our Keto way of eating. This salad reminds us of our favorite Italian pasta salad without the pasta. Traditionally, it's full of fresh tomatoes, cheese and salami marinated in an olive oil dressing. Our version keeps all of those goodies, but we add in a few extras too. You can easily make this salad new by changing a few ingredients, scroll down for more options. Enjoy!
