+title: Luther Salad
+description: Simple italian pasta salad
+---
+
+## Ingredients
+
+- 1 lb tri-color rotini
+- italian dressing
+- extras
+  - cubed low-moisture mozzarella
+  - frozen peas
+  - shredded chicken
+
+## Instructions
+
+1. Cook rotini in well salted water according to box directions. While rotini cooks, prepare your extras.
+2. Drain pasta and rinse twice in cold water to remove starch and stop carryover cooking.
+3. In a large bowl combine rotini and extras. Add italian dressing, at least 8 oz. Mix and serve or refrigerate.
+
+## Notes
+
+At first we called this "worm salad" but this proved off-putting, and we needed a new name. We had recently learned about the [1521 Diet of Worms](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diet_of_Worms) where Martin Luther was summoned to defend or recant his beliefs, so we called it "Luther salad" instead.
+
+The base salad already covers elements of [salt, fat, acid, and heat](https://www.saltfatacidheat.com/), so your extras are mostly for texture, leaving lots of room for variations:
+
+### Vegan / healthy:
+- halved cherry tomatoes
+- slivered sweet peppers
+- paysanne cucumber
+
+### Italian:
+- halved cherry tomatoes
+- sliced black olives, drained
+- cubed cheese
+- chopped pepperoni
