Number Of Ingredients 18

1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/4 cup shallots
1 tablespoon oregano
1 teaspoon celery seed
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup olive oil
1 pound pasta

Steps:

  • In a bowl, stir together the vinegar, shallots, oregano, celery seed, Worcestershire, and sugar. Let sit for 15 minutes, then slowly whisk in the oil until emulsified into the dressing. Set aside. 2Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente, or according to package directions. Drain and rinse well under cold water; drain again and transfer to a large serving bowl. 3Add the salami, provolone, celery, pepperoncini, roasted red bell peppers, olives, capers, and parsley, and toss until evenly combined.
