Salad
  • 1/2 cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 1 tbsp banana pepper juice from the jar of banana pepper rings
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp oregano
  • 1/3 cup banana pepper rings
  • 1/4 red onion or to taste
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 5 ounces salami

  • 8 ounces sliced provolone cheese
  • 1 pound rotini pasta

Equipment

  • Large Pot
  • Large Bowl

Method
 

  1. Bring a pot of water to boil on the stovetop. Follow the pasta instructions on the box to cook the pasta to al dente. Once cooked, drain and rinse the pasta under cold water to cool down.
  2. Meanwhile, make the dressing by adding the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, banana pepper juice, garlic powder, and oregano to a small bowl. Whisk together until the dressing is smooth.
  3. Chop the provolone cheese, turkey, and salami into small bite-size pieces. Slice the onion thin. Halve the cherry tomatoes and chop up the banana pepper rings. Add all of these ingredients to a very large bowl.
  4. Transfer the pasta to the bowl and drizzle on the dressing. Toss everything together until coated in the dressing and well mixed. Serve immediately or cover and store in the refrigerator.
