CHEF JOHN'S ANTIPASTO PASTA SALAD



Chef John's Antipasto Pasta Salad image

An antipasto is a cold platter of meat, cheese, and vegetables which is served at the start of a meal before the pasta and other courses, but to save some time, I thought we'd add the pasta right into the antipasto to turn into a complete meal all by itself. You could serve this as a side dish, but with a hunk of crusty bread and a glass of wine, I'm not sure what else you'd need. Top with more parsley before serving.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 23

1 (16 ounce) package fusilli pasta
1 clove garlic, finely crushed
1 anchovy fillet
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
½ cup red wine vinegar, or more to taste
1 pinch salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
1 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon dried thyme
1 cup extra-virgin olive oil
⅓ cup julienned red onion
⅓ cup julienned jalapeno pepper
⅓ cup julienned pickled pepperoncini peppers

Add Dijon mustard, mayonnaise, vinegar, salt, pepper, oregano, and thyme and whisk to combine. Slowly drizzle in olive oil, whisking constantly, until dressing is smooth, thick, and coats the back of a spoon.
  • Pour cooled pasta into the bowl of dressing and toss with a large spoon until well coated.
