For an extra layer of flavor, consider grilling the red peppers yourself for a smoky sweetness. If you don't have time, high-quality jarred roasted red peppers work well. Adjust the amount of pepperoncini peppers to your liking, depending on your spice preference. Freshly grated Parmesan cheese is always superior to pre-shredded. Its sharper flavor elevates the dish. This salad is best served cold. If it seems dry after refrigeration, drizzle with a touch of extra virgin olive oil just before serving and toss gently.

01 Step
Recipe View Cook the Pasta (8-10 minutes): Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package directions, until al dente. Drain immediately and rinse under cold running water to stop the cooking process. This keeps the pasta from becoming mushy.
02 Step
Recipe View Combine the Ingredients (10 minutes): In a large bowl, combine the cooked rotini, diced red onion, roasted red peppers, mozzarella cheese, chopped artichoke hearts, diced salami, sliced green olives, black olives, and pepperoncini peppers. Season with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, seasoned salt, and freshly ground black pepper.
03 Step
Recipe View Prepare the Dressing (5 minutes): In a separate small bowl, whisk together the Italian-style dressing and mayonnaise until smooth and creamy. This creates a tangy and rich coating for the salad.
04 Step
Recipe View Dress and Chill (2 hours minimum): Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss gently but thoroughly to ensure all ingredients are evenly coated. Add the shredded Parmesan cheese and mix well. Cover the bowl tightly with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably longer, to allow the flavors to meld together beautifully.
