Step-by-Step Instructions
- In a large pot, bring salted water to a rolling boil. Add 12 ounces of rotini or penne pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain and rinse the pasta under cold water until cooled, then set aside.
- Chop the salami and ham into small bite-sized pieces, and slice the pepperoni into rounds. Cube the provolone cheese and set aside.
- Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and drain and slice the pepperoncini.
- In a mixing bowl, combine ½ cup mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, and 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Whisk in 1 tablespoon of Italian seasoning, 1 teaspoon of garlic powder, and black pepper to taste.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, chopped salami, ham, pepperoni, cubed provolone, halved cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, and pepperoncini. Toss gently to combine.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta salad and toss gently until evenly coated.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid and refrigerate for at least 45 minutes.
- Right before serving, fold in 2 cups of shredded iceberg or romaine lettuce.
