A vibrant and refreshing salad featuring chewy pasta, juicy cherry tomatoes, creamy mozzarella, and fresh basil, drizzled with tangy balsamic.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces pasta (e.g., rotini or penne)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup mozzarella balls, halved
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil leaves, chopped
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Once the pasta is al dente, drain it in a colander and let it cool slightly.
  2. Combine the cooled pasta with the halved cherry tomatoes, mozzarella balls, and the chopped basil in a large mixing bowl.
  3. Whisk the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, salt, and pepper together in a small bowl.
  4. Dress the salad by pouring the dressing over the pasta and veggie medley, then toss everything together until well coated.
  5. Chill for a few moments to allow the flavors to meld, then serve chilled or at room temperature.

Notes

For best flavor, use high-quality olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Customize with various vegetables or make it gluten-free with alternative pasta.
