Sauce
- 1/2 cup mayo
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
- 2 tablspoons worcestershire sauce
- 1 tablespoon mustard
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 clove garlic grated
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes
- pinch of salt
Ingredients
- 1/2 pound pasta
- 6 jalapenos seeds removed, diced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh oregano
- 4 ounces feta crumbled
- 4 ounces capicola chopped and ripped apart
- 1 cup diced cucumbers
- 1/2 cup diced radish
Mix the sauce ingredients in a bowl.
Cook the pasta in a pot of heavily salted water until just barely cooked and still firm. Strain.
Add the pasta right to the mayo sauce and stir to combine. Cover and store in the fridge until fully cooled.
Add in the remaining ingredients and stir to combine. I like to lightly salt the cucumbers and radish as I add them.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. I added a splash of worcestershire, more oil and mayo, and a little chili flake. It depends how you like it!
