Prep Time 15 Min | Cook Time 10 Min | Serves 8

Ingredients

  • 6 oz salami
  • 2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 8 oz mozzarella pearls, drained
  • 1/2 cup pepperoncini, sliced
  • 7 oz Gaeta olives, drained
  • 1 lb fusilli pasta
  • 1/2 red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 14 oz quartered artichoke hearts
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp lemon juice
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 2 tsp Italian seasoning

Directions

  • Prepare the pasta according to the instructions on the package. After cooking, you can either rinse it immediately with cold water to cool it down or let it cool naturally in a large bowl while you prepare the other ingredients. To prevent sticking, toss the pasta with a small amount of olive oil as it cools.
  • To make the dressing, combine olive oil, red wine vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, and Italian seasoning. In a separate bowl, mix together the cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, salami, Gaeta olives, pepperoncini, red onion, fresh parsley, and artichoke hearts with the cooled pasta.
  • Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and gently toss until all the ingredients are coated. Serve immediately.
  • Enjoy!
