Preparation

Step 1

To make the pasta salad, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the rotini and cook until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water until pasta is cool.
While the pasta is cooking, cut the mozzarella balls in half. Cut the salami and pepperoni into small pieces. Halve the cherry tomatoes and roughly chop the spinach. Dice the peperoncini into small pieces.
Add the pasta to a large mixing bowl with the prepared mozzarella, salami, pepperoni, tomatoes, spinach, onion, and pepperoncini.
To make the dressing, whisk together all of the ingredients until well combined.
Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and stir well to coat.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes prior to serving.
Taste and add additional seasoning as desired.
