Instructions

Cook pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent softening.
Chop the vegetables, meats, and provolone cheese. In a large bowl, combine all salad ingredients.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the dressing ingredients, adjusting seasoning and thickness as needed.
Pour ¾ of the dressing over the salad mixture and toss to combine. Chill until ready to serve, then add the remaining dressing just before serving.

This salad can be made a day ahead; just keep it refrigerated!
