Deli-Style Pasta Salad

• 1 (7 ounce) package tri-color spiral pasta
• 6 ounces hard salami, thinly sliced
• 6 ounces provolone cheese, cubed
• 2 1/4 ounces ripe olives, sliced and drained
• 1 small red onion, thinly sliced
• 1 small zucchini, halved and thinly sliced
• 1/4 cup green bell pepper, chopped
• 1/4 cup red bell pepper, chopped
• 1/4 cup fresh parsley, minced
• 1/4 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1/2 cup olive oil or 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 1/4 cup cider vinegar or 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder (or to taste, or use a small amount of fresh minced)
• 1 1/2 teaspoons prepared mustard or 1 teaspoon mustard powder
• 1 teaspoon dried basil
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano (or to taste)
• salt and pepper
• 2 -4 teaspoons sugar (optional)

1. Cook pasta according to directions; rinse in cold water, drain.
2. Place the cooked pasta in a large bowl.
3. Toss with 1-2 tbsp olive oil (to prevent pasta from sticking and drying out, this is optional).
4. Add the next 9 ingredients, with the Parmesan cheese; toss to combine.
5. In a jar with a tight fitting lid, combine oil, vinegar, garlic powder, mustard, basil, oregano, salt and pepper; shake well to combine.
6. Add in sugar if you find that the dressing is too strong.
7. Pour over the salad; toss to coat well.
8. Cover, and chill for 8 or more hours, (overnight is even better).
9. Toss again before serving.
