Instructions
Prepare the ingredients for the pasta salad:
- Cook the pasta al dente (it should have a bite to it) according to the package instructions. Drain and cool down. Add to a large bowl.
- Cut tomatoes and mozzarella pearls in half. Add to the pasta in the bowl.
- Tear basil leaves into smaller pieces with your fingers and add to the bowl (they will be more aromatic in comparison when cut with a knife).
Make the vinaigrette:
- Add all the ingredients for the vinaigrette into a food processor or blender container. Mix at a low speed until well combined and basil leaves are chopped finely.
Assemble:
- Pour dressing into the bowl and toss with the other ingredients until well combined. Season with salt and pepper if needed.
- Enjoy!
