Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente, usually about 8–10 minutes. Drain the pasta in a colander and rinse it under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set the pasta aside to cool completely.
- In a spacious mixing bowl, combine the cooled rotini pasta with sliced pepperoni, chopped salami, and chopped ham. Mix well to ensure the meats are evenly distributed.
- Add the shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced red onions, banana peppers, sliced black olives, and chopped tomatoes to the meat mixture. Gently fold the ingredients together.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until the dressing is creamy and smooth.
- Pour the prepared dressing over the pasta salad mixture. Using a large spoon, gently toss everything together.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap or transfer the salad to an airtight container. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
- After chilling, give the salad a quick stir to redistribute the dressing. Serve the Italian Grinder Pasta Salad cold.

Notes
Allow the salad to chill longer than 30 minutes for the best flavor infusion.
