Step-by-Step Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil over high heat. Add 20 oz of refrigerated cheese tortellini and cook until al dente, usually around 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to halt cooking.
- In a medium mixing bowl, whisk together 1 cup of mayonnaise, 2 tablespoons of red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of Dijon mustard, half of 1 tablespoon of dried oregano, and 1 teaspoon of cracked black pepper until smooth.
- In a spacious glass bowl, combine the cooled tortellini, 6 oz of thinly sliced dry salami, 6 oz of cubed provolone cheese, and 1/2 cup of drained pickled banana pepper rings. Gently toss to combine.
- Pour the creamy dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until evenly coated.
- Fold in 3 cups of finely shredded iceberg lettuce gently to maintain its crunch.
- Sprinkle the remaining dried oregano and cracked black pepper on top and serve immediately or chill for up to an hour.
