Ingredients

10 servings

1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup white vinegar (red wine vinegar works too)
1/4 cup water
2 teaspoons kosher salt (see notes)
2 cloves garlic (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 teaspoons each dry oregano and dry basil
black pepper to taste
fresh herbs if you want! sometimes I add fresh parsley, basil, or chives.
1 pound uncooked pasta (preferably rotini)
one 10-oz. package cherry tomatoes, halved (2 cups)
8 ounces fresh mozzarella cheese balls, cut in half if needed
8 ounces salami, cut into cubes or thin strips (see notes for types)
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced
1 cup sliced pepperoncini
1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion
1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped

Steps

Make Dressing: Blend up the dressing ingredients in a small blender or food processor. (You’ll want to double the dressing if you’re making it ahead – see notes for more details!)
Cook Pasta: Bring 4 quarts water + 1 tablespoon kosher salt to a large pot and bring to a boil – salting the water gives more flavor to the pasta itself. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse pasta with cold water. Toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
Add pasta and remaining ingredients to a very large bowl. Cover with dressing and toss to combine. Add more parsley on top for making it pretty!
