Instructions:

- Drain the pasta in a colander and immediately rinse with cold water until the noodles feel cool to the touch.
- Dice the hard salami and mozzarella into uniform small cubes.
- In an extra-large mixing bowl, combine the diced salami, mozzarella, olives, artichoke hearts, pepperoncini, and red onion.
- Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a separate bowl until emulsified.
- Add the cooled pasta to the bowl of antipasto ingredients.
- Pour the dressing over the mixture and toss gently with a large spoon until evenly coated.
