Provided by Michael Symon : Food Network

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 small red onion, skin on
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 sprig fresh oregano
2/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 cups shredded romaine lettuce
1 cup canned chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1/2 cup small diced dry salami
1/2 cup small diced aged provolone
1/2 cup halved cherry tomatoes
1/2 cup thinly sliced pepperoncinis
6 tablespoons Parmesan, freshly grated

Steps:

  • Prepare a grill for indirect heat. If using a charcoal grill, build the hot coals on one side only. If using a gas grill, heat one side only to medium-high heat.
  • Using a fork or paring knife, prick the onion all over to allow the smoke to penetrate. Place the onion directly onto the coals and cook until charred and softened, about 5 minutes. Remove from the coals and when it is cool enough to handle, peel and finely chop.
  • Add the onions, garlic, oregano, olive oil and red wine vinegar to a glass jar with a lid. Season with salt and pepper, then shake vigorously and set aside.
  • Add the lettuce, chickpeas, salami, provolone, tomatoes and pepperoncinis to a large bowl. Dress with some of the smoky red wine-oregano vinaigrette and toss to coat. Add the Parmesan all over the top and serve with freshly cracked black pepper.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Choose a flavorful salami and provolone cheese, and use fresh vegetables.
  • Marinate the vegetables: This will help them absorb the flavors of the dressing. You can marinate the vegetables for 30 minutes or up to overnight.
  • Don't overcook the pasta: You want the pasta to be al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and won't hold up well in the salad.
  • Use a light dressing: A heavy dressing will weigh down the salad and make it greasy. A simple vinaigrette or Italian dressing is a good option.
  • Serve the salad immediately: Pasta salad is best when served fresh. The vegetables will start to wilt if you let the salad sit for too long.

Conclusion:

Salami provolone pasta salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. With its combination of salty salami, creamy provolone, and fresh vegetables, this salad is sure to be a hit. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this salami provolone pasta salad a try.
