Ingredients
for the balsamic vinaigrette:
- ½ c. extra virgin olive oil
- ⅓ c. balsamic vinegar
- 1 garlic minced, large clove
- 2 T. sweet yellow onion minced
- 2 tsp. Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp. honey
- kosher salt to taste
- black pepper to taste, freshly ground
for the salad:
- 8 oz. cavatappi noodles cooked to al dente in salted water, and then cooled and drained
- 1 tsp. extra virgin olive oil
- 12 oz. mozzarella balls cherry size
- 1.5 c. cherry tomato halved
- 10 to 12 basil sliced very thinly, large leaves
- ⅓ c. Parmesan Cheese finely shredded
- black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
for the balsamic vinaigrette:
- In a small bowl, whisk together oil, balsamic vinegar, garlic, onion, Dijon mustard, and honey. Add salt and pepper, to taste. Set aside.
for the salad:
- Place cooled and drained cavatappi noodles in a medium size bowl and drizzle olive oil over the top. Fold to coat.
- Set out six wide-mouth pint jars. Divide mozzarella balls evenly between the jars. Whisk the balsamic vinaigrette to incorporate, and then pour over mozzarella balls just to cover the mozzarella.
- Divide cavatappi amongst the jars, and then the halved tomatoes. Top with sliced basil and shredded Parmesan, followed by a bit of freshly ground black pepper. Top each jar with a lid and refrigerate until ready to eat. When ready to eat, turn individual jars upside-down to let the vinaigrette move through the rest of the jar, and then shake several times to incorporate. Remove lids and enjoy.
- Salads keep well in the refrigerator for a few days.
