Gourmet Pasta Salad

• Dressing
• 2 tablespoons lemon juice
• 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
• 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt
• 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper
• 1/3 cup mixed fresh herbs, finely chopped (basil, oregano, thyme)
• Salad
• 1 lb fusilli (spiral pasta) or 1 lb rotini pasta (spiral pasta)
• 1/2 red onion, sliced
• 2 1/2 ounces black olives, sliced
• 1 (12 ounce) jar olive oil-packed roasted red peppers, drained and sliced (Dell Alpe recommended)
• 4 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
• 1/4 cup sun-dried tomato packed in oil, chopped
• 1 cup salami, chopped

1. For the dressing, place all ingredients in a jar. Close lid tightly and shake until blended.
2. For the salad, cook the pasta according to package directions in salted boiling water (about 1-2 tablespoons salt for a big pot of water).
3. While the pasta is cooking, soak the red onion in ice water to mellow its flavor.
4. Drain cooked pasta and place in a large bowl.
5. Drain onions and pat dry, then add them to the pasta. Add the dressing, olives, peppers, feta, sun-dried tomatoes and salami to warm pasta and toss.
6. Serve immediately at room temperature or refrigerate until ready to use.
