A vibrant Italian Pasta Salad bursting with flavors from fresh vegetables, pasta, and a zesty dressing, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 oz pasta (e.g., rotini, penne)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1 cup cucumber, diced
  • 1/2 cup red onion, diced
  • 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
  • 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, diced
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Once cooked, drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down.
  2. Combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, black olives, and mozzarella cheese in a large bowl. Mix gently to not break the pasta or cheese.
  3. Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a small bowl until fully combined.
  4. Pour the dressing over the pasta salad and toss until evenly coated.
  5. Chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes before serving to meld the flavors.

Notes

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. To save time, prep your vegetables while the pasta cooks.
