- Add the vegetables: Stir in shredded iceberg lettuce, sliced red onions, sliced banana peppers, black olives, and chopped tomatoes.
- Whisk the dressing: In a separate bowl, mix mayonnaise, red wine vinegar, olive oil, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until smooth.
- Combine the salad with dressing: Pour dressing over the pasta mixture, and toss gently to coat all ingredients.
- Chill for flavor enhancement: Cover or transfer to an airtight container, and chill for at least 30 minutes.
- Serve and garnish: Toss salad before serving, transfer to a bowl, and garnish with additional parmesan or herbs.

Notes
For the freshest texture, keep ingredients like lettuce separate until just before serving. The salad tastes even better the next day!
