Instructions
- Boil a large, salted pot of water and cook pasta al dente according to package directions. Once it's cooked, drain it and run it under cool water. Let it drain thoroughly.
- Meanwhile, while the pasta is cooking, get all your other ingredients ready. Add the dressing ingredients to a jar and shake vigorously. You may need to add more oil or vinegar depending on your tastes.
- Assemble the pasta salad in a large bowl. Toss with the dressing and season with salt & pepper as needed (I added a fair bit of salt because there's a lot of pasta). Either serve the pasta salad right away or refrigerate until the flavors meld a bit.
Notes
- Feeds 6+, especially if it's a side rather than a main dish.
- I pitted the Kalamata olives after measuring a 1/2 cup out. You can leave them whole if you wish.
- All quantities here aren't set in stone... feel free to use ballpark figures and add more/less of anything that you like.
- I only put 10 minutes prep time because the rest is included in the time it takes to cook the pasta.
