Yield: 8 servings
Cuisine: Italian-American
Ingredients: 1 lb rotini pasta; 3/4 cup olive oil; 1/4 cup red wine vinegar; 1 cup bottled Italian dressing; 1 tbsp dried oregano; 1 tbsp Italian seasoning; 2 tbsp pesto; 1/4 cup pepperoncini, chopped; 1/4 cup muffuletta mix; 1/4 cup olives, chopped; 1 cup provolone cheese, cubed; 1 lb assorted deli meats, cubed; salt, to taste; black pepper, to taste

1

Cook pasta according to package directions until slightly overcooked. Drain and transfer to a large mixing bowl while still hot.

2

While the pasta is hot, pour over the olive oil and red wine vinegar. Alternatively, you can use a bottled Italian dressing.

3

Sprinkle with dried oregano or Italian seasoning.

4

Add the pesto, which will help the dressing cling to the pasta. Mix until well combined.

5

Stir in the chopped pepperoncini.

6

Add the muffuletta mix (or chopped olives if using) and stir to combine.

7

Add the cubed cheese to the bowl.

8

Add the cubed assorted deli meats.

9

Gently mix all the ingredients together until everything is evenly distributed.

10

Taste the salad and season with salt and pepper as needed. Be cautious with the salt, as the meats and cheeses are already salty.

11

Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 4 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
