Ingredients
Method
- First, cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool.
- Next, in a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, kalamata olives, artichoke hearts, roasted red peppers, sun-dried tomatoes, pepperoni, mozzarella cheese, and red onion.
- Then, in a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
- Now, pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss to coat evenly.
- Also, stir in the fresh basil until everything is well combined.
- So, cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to allow the flavors to meld together.
- Finally, give the salad a quick stir before serving and enjoy!
Notes
For a vegetarian version, omit the pepperoni or substitute with grilled vegetables. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
