This is my go to pasta salad of the summer. It’s perfect to bring to BBQs and great to revisit all week long for lunch. Some of my pasta salad tips
⭐️This creamy basil and balsamic dressing gets some extra flavor from a tablespoon of pesto, and a little bit of mayo , it helps it adhere to the pasta .
⭐️ I like to mix the pasta by itself first then add in the the rest of the ingredients and toss gently.
⭐️Let it sit in the fridge for a little before serving. Then re-season the top and mix through before serving. I’ll add a drizzle mor of olive oil and vinegar with a touch more salt.
1lb pasta, cooked according to package directions
3/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
1/4 cup mayo
1 1/2 tbsp pesto( jar or freshly made)
1/2 cup roughly chopped fresh Basil
1 tbsp honey
1 tsp kosher salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1 1/2 cup cherry tomatoes halved
1 1/2 cup mozzarella balls (bocconcini ) halved
In a large bowl whisk together all ingredients. Then add pasta, toss until coated. Place in the fridge for about 20-30 minutes.
Then add the tomatoes and mozzarella over top. Drizzle with about a tablespoon more of olive oil and then a tablespoon more of vinegar. Add salt and pepper to taste, mix all ingredients together gently, again until we’ll coated.
