How to Make Italian Sandwich Pasta Salad
- Cook 1 pound pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water; set aside.
- In a large bowl, combine 1/2 cup thinly sliced red onion, 1/2 cup chopped dill pickles, 1/2 cup sliced Castelvetrano olives, 1 cup chopped water chestnuts, 2 tablespoons chopped fresh chives, and 1/2 cup chopped bell peppers (any color or combination).
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon dried basil, 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Pour dressing over the vegetables and gently toss to combine. Marinate for at least 15 minutes, or up to 30 minutes for maximum flavor.
