Italian Deli Grinder Pasta Salad
Italian Deli Grinder Pasta Salad combines tender spirals of pasta with salty salami, ham, and provolone, balanced by crisp veggies and pepperoncini for a tangy, briny bite. A herby red wine vinaigrette ties everything together with a hint of heat and Parmesan richness. Serve it chilled for potlucks, summer lunches, or as a make-ahead dinner side.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add 2 tablespoon salt and the pasta, and cook, stirring often, until the pasta is slightly firm, 9 to 10 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water just enough to cool the pasta to lukewarm or room temperature. Drain thoroughly.

Transfer the drained pasta to a large bowl and add the meats, cheeses, and vegetables (through olives) on top. Sprinkle the salad seasoning over the bowl.

In a separate bowl, whisk together the remaining salt, vinegar, brine, oregano, red pepper flakes, sugar, pepper, garlic powder, mustard, and olive oil until well combined. Stir in the Parmesan cheese. Pour the dressing over the pasta salad mixture and toss until everything is fully coated. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to serve.

How easyChef Pro Scores This Recipe
easyChef Pro gives every recipe a health score from 0 to 100, built from more than 30 nutritional parameters including nutrient density, energy density and glycemic impact. It calculates rather than estimates, so the same recipe returns the same score every time.
The number is traceable. You can see exactly which nutrient moved it, so a dish scoring 78 might show fiber pushing it up while sodium pulls it down, alongside the NOVA processing level of each ingredient.
Your health goal changes the calculation itself, not just a filter. easyChef Pro applies clinically derived weighting across six health dimensions, which is why the same dish can score well for one goal and poorly for another.
Swap an ingredient or change the serving size and that math changes with it. Scoring your own version is the only way to see what your kitchen actually produces.
