Italian Pasta Salad

This pasta salad is SO good, and totally versatile as well. You could add olives, artichokes, etc to it. I personally just added what we like to it, but you can definitely add or replace ingredients as well to make it your own! 

Salad Ingredients:
(makes a large salad)

1 lb uncooked rotini (corkscrew) 
1 package sliced pepperoni, cut into quarters 
1 package salami (I get the one from trader joes, that size was perfect for this salad), sliced and cut into quarters  
1 tomato diced
1/2 of a medium onion, very finely diced
1 (1 lb.) block mozzarella cheese, cubed
Large handful of spinach, roughly chopped

Dressing Ingredients:

1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup olive oil
2 tablespoon sugar
1 1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 1/4 teaspoon dried oregano 
1 1/4 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon italian seasoning

Directions:

Cook pasta according to the directions on the package. Rinse under cool water. 

Combine the rest of the salad ingredients in a LARGE bowl. Once pasta is cooled add it to the bowl.

In a separate small bowl combine dressing ingredients and whisk until sugar is dissolved.

Combine dressing with the salad and serve! I personally think its better the next day but it can be served immediately as well.

Store in the refrigerator.
