Caprese Pasta Salad
Report
My Caprese Pasta Salad is a classic, refreshing salad full of ripe tomatoes, fresh mozzarella cheese and fragrant basil. It's dressed in a white balsamic vinegar dressing and is a beautiful pasta salad everyone will love!

Ingredients
For the salad
- 8 oz. radiatore pasta (or small pasta shape of choice)
- 1 1/2 cups cherry or grape tomatoes, quartered
- 1 heaping cup fresh basil, chiffonade
- 8 oz. mozzarella balls, pearls or ciliegine
- flaky sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
- balsamic glaze (optional)
Dressing
- 1/3 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup white balsamic vinegar
- 1 lemon, juiced
- 1 tsp. Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp. crushed garlic
- salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Shake all salad dressing ingredients in a sealed mason jar or bottle until combined. Or whisk until emulsified in a bowl. Taste and adjust.
- Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water.
- Add the cooked pasta to a large bowl along with the tomatoes, basil, and mozzarella. Pour the dressing on top and toss to combine. Taste and adjust any seasonings as desired and drizzle with balsamic glaze, if using. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Storage: sealed in an air-tight container for 3-4 days. The pasta will soak up the dressing so you can make more if desired when serving again.
- Make ahead: If you want to make this in advance and chill prior to serving, either reserve some dressing or make extra. Drizzle the dressing on and toss when ready to serve.
