Dressing:

1/4 cup apple cider vinegar

2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil 

1 teaspoon kosher salt 

Salad:

One 12-ounce box tricolor fusilli pasta

3 cups baby arugula, chopped

1 cup cherry tomatoes, quartered 

1/4 cup peppadew peppers, chopped 

8 slices (about 4 ounces) provolone cheese, diced

  1. For the dressing: Whisk together the vinegar, oil and salt in a large bowl. Set aside.

I made this last night, and to say it was a HUGE success would he putting it mildly! My brother and dad ate it with abandon (they ate more of this than they did the sausage and peppers I made). <br /><br />The only things I changed were that I used roasted red peppers instead of peppadews and mozzarella instead of provolone. <br /><br />This will list definitely go into my side salad rotation!!
