Add the cooled pasta to a large serving bowl followed by the grape tomatoes, bell pepper, cucumber, onion, black olives, sliced salami, pepperoni, and mozzarella pearls. Sprinkle 1 tsp dry Italian herb blend, 1/2 tsp paprika, 1 crushed red pepper flakes, and 1/4 tsp ground black pepper. Lastly, add 1 to 1/2 cups of Italian dressing, 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese, and 1/4 cup fresh parsley. Gently toss everything together. Serve and enjoy!
