  3. Drain the rotini and rinse under cold running water until cool. Add to the vinaigrette , along with the provolone , tomatoes, salami, prosciutto , parsley, and basil. Toss to mix. Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to serve. Let the salad return to room temperature before serving.
