The Best Pasta Salad

10.0

½ cup olive oil

¼ cup white vinegar (red wine vinegar works too)

¼ cup water

2 teaspoons kosher salt

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

½ cup pitted kalamata olives, sliced

1 cup sliced pepperoncini

½ cup thinly sliced red onion

½ cup fresh parsley, chopped

Make Dressing: Blend up the dressing ingredients in a small blender or food processor.
Cook Pasta: Bring 4 quarts water + 1 tablespoon kosher salt to a large pot and bring to a boil. Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse pasta with cold water. Toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
Toss Together: 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!
