Cooking and Assembling
- Boil a large pot of salted water and cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente, about 8-10 minutes. Drain, toss with olive oil to prevent sticking, and allow to cool completely.
- In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, mayonnaise, white vinegar, granulated sugar, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, and salt and pepper until smooth.
- Chop the red and green bell peppers, grape tomatoes, salami, mini mozzarella balls, pepperoncini, red onion, and olives into bite-sized pieces.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta with all the chopped ingredients and freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Gently fold together.
- Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until everything is coated. Adjust seasoning with salt or pepper if needed.
- Cover with plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least two hours to allow the flavors to meld. Toss before serving and enjoy.
