Instructions
Cook pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to cool completely.
In a small bowl or jar, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and pepper to make the Italian dressing. Add crushed red pepper flakes if desired.
In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, salami, cherry tomatoes, mozzarella, olives, red onion, and bell peppers.
Pour the Italian dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat all ingredients evenly.
Sprinkle fresh parsley or basil over the salad and toss again.
Cover and chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to let the flavors meld.
