Ingredients
Red Wine Vinaigrette:
- 1 bunch fresh basil, stemmed and leaves chopped (about 2 cups)
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 clove garlic
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Antipasto Salad:
- 1 pound fusilli pasta
- 1/2 cup hard salami, cut into strips (about 3 ounces)
- 1/2 cup smoked turkey, cut into strips (about 3 ounces)
- 1/4 cup provolone cheese, cut into strips
- 1/4 cup grated Asiago cheese
- 2 tablespoons green olives, halved and pitted
- 2 tablespoons roasted red peppers, cut into strips
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
Directions
Vinaigrette: In a blender, add the basil, vinegar, garlic, mustard, salt and pepper. Blend until the herbs are finely chopped. With the machine running, drizzle in the olive oil until the dressing is smooth.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until tender but still firm to the bite, stirring occasionally, about 8 to 10 minutes. Drain pasta.
In a large bowl, toss together the cooked pasta with the remaining salad ingredients. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Serve.

I enjoyed antipasto salad w/a vegetarian twist: only cheddar & mozzarella cheese. No vinegar: due to an allergic reaction but I enjoyed the taste of the dressing e.v. o.o. , dijon mustard, salt and pepper, garlic, rosemary & basil and black olives, green olives, green peas, sprinkled with parm cheese. It lends it self to a festive luncheon environment, very light and delicious.
