Instructions
- In a jar with a lid (or a bowl) combine the dressing ingredients. Shake to combine, or whisk together. Taste test and adjust salt/pepper as needed. Set aside.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta as directed on the package, making sure they are al dente when done. Drain and rinse with cold water.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the veggies and add them to a large mixing bowl. Once the pasta is rinsed and cool, add it to the bowl. Drizzle on the dressing and toss to coat completely.
- Serve immediately or place in the fridge to chill. The longer it chills, the better because the flavor develops (if left overnight, add an extra drizzle of olive oil before serving).
Equipments used:
Notes
- Olives: use black olives for a milder taste.
- Store leftovers an airtight container in the fridge for 3-4 days. The pasta will absorb the dressing, so you may want to add more or a drizzle of olive oil before eating it, the longer it is stored.
