Preparation Steps
- Cook the pasta by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil, adding the fusilli pasta, and cooking until al dente for 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- While pasta cools, wash and chop vegetables including diced chicken, sliced cherry tomatoes, and cucumber into bite-sized pieces, adding them to a large mixing bowl.
- Make the herb dressing in a blender by combining parsley, mint, garlic, jalapeno, walnuts, mayonnaise, olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth.
- In the large mixing bowl, combine cooled fusilli pasta, chopped vegetables, and diced chicken salami. Gently mix to combine.
- Pour the herb dressing over the salad mixture and toss until everything is well coated.
- Cover and refrigerate the salad for at least 1 hour to allow flavors to meld.
- Before serving, garnish with freshly chopped parsley and a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese.
