Ingredients

For the dressing

• 1/2 cup red wine vinegar
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan
• 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 2 tsp. Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste

For the salad
• 1 lb. short pasta
• 8 oz. fresh mozzarella pearls
• 8 oz. grape or cherry tomatoes
• 1 English cucumber
• 1 bell pepper
• 1/2 small red onion
• 1/2 cup fresh basil

 

 

How to make it

Whisk the dressing together, then add the mozzarella and chopped vegetables and toss to coat. Cook the pasta until tender, drain and rinse under cold water, then toss with the vegetables and dressing. Let sit for about 30 minutes to allow the flavors to come together, then stir in the fresh basil and serve.
