Instructions
- To a large mixing bowl, add mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, garlic powder, black pepper, oregano, red pepper flakes, and salt. Whisk until the mixture is smooth and creamy.
- Add the cooked and cooled tortellini to the bowl with the dressing. Gently toss to coat.
- Add pepperoncini, parmesan cheese, red onion, cherry tomatoes, pepperoni, salami, and ham. Using a large spoon or rubber spatula, gently toss everything together until the tortellini is well coated and all the ingredients are evenly mixed.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or a lid. Refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill and let the flavors blend. Before serving, give the salad one more stir to refresh the dressing. Serve cold.
Notes
Store your salad covered in a sealed container in the fridge. It stays good for 3-4 days if kept chilled. Add extra parmesan or pepperoncini before serving leftovers for added flavor.
