CLASSIC PASTA SALAD WITH MOZZARELLA, AVOCADO AND BASIL



Classic Pasta Salad With Mozzarella, Avocado and Basil image

With its colorful jumble of tomatoes, avocado, olives, mozzarella and cucumber, this has everything you've ever wanted in a pasta salad. But feel free to customize the ingredients to suit your own tastes (see Tip), and to add lemon and salt to the dressing to taste. As long as you don't overcook the pasta, and add it while still hot to the dressing, you really can't go wrong. Make this a few hours ahead so the flavors have a chance to meld, but be sure not to add the avocado until just before serving.

Time 25m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons minced shallot or red onion
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
1/2 teaspoon fine sea salt, plus more to taste
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
Fine sea salt, as needed
1 pound short pasta, such as campanelle, fusilli or farfalle
1 ripe avocado, peeled, pitted and diced
1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup sliced cucumber
1 pound fresh mozzarella, cut into bite-size cubes
1/4 cup shaved Parmesan
1/4 cup thinly sliced fresh basil

Steps:

  • To prepare the dressing, in a large bowl, whisk together shallot, lemon juice, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper. Let sit for 5 minutes, then whisk in oil. Taste and add more salt and-or lemon juice if needed.
  • Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until it is just al dente, usually a minute less than the package instructions. Drain well. While still warm, add the pasta to the bowl with the dressing and toss well. Let pasta cool, soaking up the dressing.
  • In a medium bowl, gently toss together avocado, lemon juice and a pinch of salt.
  • Just before serving, add tomato, cucumber, mozzarella and Parmesan to the bowl with the pasta and toss well. Gently fold in avocado and basil.
  • Drizzle with olive oil, cracked black pepper and salt to taste before serving.

FRESH MOZZARELLA PASTA SALAD



Fresh Mozzarella Pasta Salad image

A take on a traditional Caprese, but modified into a light summer pasta salad that goes great with anything off the grill, or just on its own. When I eat it on its own, I sometimes add about a cup of any chunked, cold sausage (I suggest pepperoni or a lighter summer sausage). Any pasta is fine, but I like the orzo's size.

Provided by Meghan

Categories     Salad     100+ Pasta Salad Recipes     Italian Pasta Salad Recipes

Time 25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 cup uncooked orzo pasta
1 ½ cups cubed fresh mozzarella cheese
2 fresh plum tomatoes, seeded and cut into bite-size pieces
¼ cup chopped fresh basil
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
salt to taste
1 tablespoon olive oil, or as needed

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Stir in the orzo, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, but still firm to the bite, about 10 minutes. Drain well, and let cool.
  • Mix the mozzarella cheese cubes, tomatoes, basil, crushed red pepper flakes, and salt with olive oil in a salad bowl. Gently mix in the orzo pasta, and toss lightly to coat the ingredients with oil.
