EASY PASTA SALAD RECIPE



Easy Pasta Salad Recipe image

A summer classic packed with flavor and crispy fresh broccoli marinated in a zesty Italian dressing. Leftovers are the best!

Provided by Tricia

Categories     Salad     Side Dish

Time 38m

Number Of Ingredients 18

⅓ cup white wine vinegar
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
⅓ cup extra-virgin olive oil (or canola oil)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 teaspoon fresh thyme leaves
1 teaspoon fresh basil leaves (hopped)
1 teaspoon fresh oregano leaves (chopped)
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon crushed red pepper
2 teaspoons granulated sugar
1 teaspoon fresh ground pepper
12 ounce package of Tri-Color Rotini Pasta
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes (halved)
½ a large onion (diced (red or sweet onion are best))
1 cup assorted olives (pitted and sliced)
2 cups broccoli florets
1 teaspoon seasoned salt ((like Lawry's brand))
8-12 ounces cheddar cheese (or Colby cheese, sliced in match stick pieces)

Steps:

  • Place all the ingredients for the dressing in a glass jar or container with a tight fitting lid. Shake vigorously until well blended. Set aside.
  • Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and place the pasta in a large mixing bowl. Drizzle a few tablespoons of the dressing on the warm noodles and toss to prevent them from sticking together.
  • Place the broccoli florets in a large colander. Pour hot water (almost boiling) over the florets then rinse with cold water. Drain. The hot water will give the broccoli a lovely bright green color and take the raw edge off the vegetable. Add the broccoli to the bowl with the pasta.
  • Add the tomatoes, onion, olives and seasoned salt. Pour the prepared dressing over the top of the pasta salad and toss gently to combine. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • Add the cheese just before serving.
  • Refrigerate leftovers.

ZESTY ITALIAN PASTA SALAD - REVIEW BY ONEILLG - ALLRECIPES
I've made this salad twice already since finding it a few weeks ago. I recommend adding slightly more pepper than is called for in the recipe, and definitely adding the pepperoni, but this is a great-tasting salad that's easy to make! We even liked it warm (un-chilled) when we were too hungry to wait!
