  • Seasoning and Sauces

    • 🧂 2 tablespoons kosher salt

STEPS

1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoons salt and pasta to water and cook, stirring often, until pasta is tender with a bite, 9 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water just enough to bring the pasta to lukewarm or room temperature. Drain well.

2

Add drained pasta to a large bowl and add meats, cheeses, and vegetables (through olives) on top. Sprinkle salad seasoning over the bowl.

3

In a separate bowl, whisk together remaining salt, vinegar, brine, oregano, red pepper flakes, sugar, pepper, garlic powder, mustard, and olive oil until well combined. Stir in Parmesan cheese.

4

Pour dressing over pasta salad mixture and toss until everything is fully coated. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.
