Instructions
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
While the pasta cooks, chop the salami, pepperoni, ham, provolone, and mozzarella into small bite-sized pieces.
Halve the cherry tomatoes, thinly slice the red onion, and chop the pepperoncini peppers and black olives into bite-sized pieces. Shred the romaine lettuce.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, honey, salt, and black pepper to create the dressing.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chopped meats, cheeses, cherry tomatoes, red onion, pepperoncini peppers, black olives, and romaine lettuce.
Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss well to coat all ingredients evenly.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
