Instructions
- 1
Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil. Cook the gluten free rotini according to package directions until tender but not mushy, about 8–10 minutes. Drain through a colander, rinse briefly under cold water to stop cooking, and toss with 1 tbsp olive oil to prevent sticking.

While the pasta cooks, whisk together the red wine vinegar, 2/3 cup olive oil, Dijon mustard, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a small bowl until the dressing is emulsified and uniform.
