Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 pound seashell pasta
  • 0.5 pound Asiago cheese, diced
  • 0.25 pound Genoa salami, chopped
  • 0.25 pound pepperoni sausage, chopped
  • 3 medium tomatoes, chopped
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, diced
  • 1 medium green bell pepper, chopped
  • 1 6 ounce can black olives, drained and chopped
  • 1 .7 ounce package dry Italian-style salad dressing mix
  • 0.75 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 0.25 cup balsamic vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • salt and ground black pepper to taste

Method
 

  1. Gather all ingredients.
  2. Make the salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add shell pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 9 minutes. Drain, run under cold water to cool pasta, and drain again.
  3. Transfer drained pasta to a large bowl. Add Asiago, salami, pepperoni, tomatoes, bell peppers, and olives. Sprinkle dry dressing mix over top and stir until ingredients are thoroughly mixed. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
  4. Make the dressing: Whisk oil, vinegar, oregano, parsley, Parmesan, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl. Cover and set aside until ready to serve.
  5. When ready to serve, pour dressing over chilled salad and mix until well combined.
