For vegetarian option: instead of salami, use sun-dried tomatoes cut into thin strips
For a regular Italian Pasta Salad (Instead of Caprese) Instead of Balsamic and Olive Oil, use the Good Seasons Italian Dressing, made with regular vinegar and oil.
Cut yellow and red bell peppers into small pieces and add to the pasta. Add pimento stuffed small olives.
