  • Total Time: 59 minute

Ingredients

– 12 oz rotini pasta
– 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
– 1 cup cucumber, diced
– 1 cup bell pepper, diced
– 1 cup red onion, thinly sliced
– 1 cup cooked salami, diced
– 1 cup cooked pepperoni, sliced

– ¼ cup fresh parsley, chopped
– ½ cup Italian dressing

Instructions

Creating Italian Grinder Pasta Salad is easy with these straightforward steps:

1. Cook the Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.

2. Prep the Ingredients: While the pasta cooks, chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, red onion, and parsley. Also, prepare the meats and cheese by dicing them into bite-sized pieces.

3. Mix the Pasta and Vegetables: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta with the prepared vegetables, salami, pepperoni, olives, and provolone cheese. Toss gently to mix.

4. Make the Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the Italian dressing and olive oil. Add a pinch of salt and pepper to taste.

5. Combine Everything: Pour the dressing over the pasta salad mixture and toss well to ensure everything is evenly coated.

6. Chill the Salad: For the best flavor, cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes or up to an hour before serving.

7. Final Toss: After chilling, give the salad a final toss to refresh the flavors. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

8. Serve: Transfer the salad to a serving bowl or platter, garnishing with additional parsley if desired.
