Here’s how to put this delicious summer pasta salad together
First we need to prepare the pasta. Cook it according to the directions on the package, it’ll be different for each brand.
Cook the pasta to aldente so it’s not too mushy. Make sure to rinse the pasta before you drain it again and set it aside for later.
To prepare the salad dressing we need to combine the seasonings and the oil in a small bowl. The oil, lemon juice, oregano, mustard, salt, black pepper and garlic all go into the dressing.
Finally we combine the cooked pasta, the chopped vegetables, and the dressing in a large bowl.
Just make sure you try and keep your vegetables all a similar size so that they combine well!
This recipe makes about 12 servings. A serving is 1 cup of the finished salad.
