- In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, minced garlic, dried oregano, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes until smooth. Cover and refrigerate.

- Shake off excess water from pasta and let cool completely on a clean kitchen towel.
- Soak red onion slices in ice water for 10-15 minutes, then drain and pat dry.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine cooled pasta, mozzarella pearls, provolone cheese, salami, pepperoni, drained red onion, pepperoncini, romaine lettuce, cherry tomatoes, and fresh basil. Toss gently.
- Drizzle the creamy dressing over the salad and sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Toss gently to combine.
- Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with extra parmesan and basil. Serve within 30 minutes for optimal freshness.
