- ½ cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1 cup baby spinach fresh, chopped
- ¼ cup fresh basil chopped
DRESSING / VINAIGRETTE
- ¾ cup olive oil

- 2 tablespoons water
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- 1 clove garlic smashed and chopped fine
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook pasta al dente according to package directions. In a large bowl combine cooked pasta, artichoke hearts, sun-dried tomatoes, bell pepper, olives and cheese.Toss gently to combine.
- To make dressing, put all ingredients into a mason jar with lid, shake vigorously to combine. Pour dressing over pasta salad. Toss to combine. Refrigerate for at least an hour before serving for flavors to mingle.
- Just prior to serving, toss in spinach and basil for a beautiful fresh pop of color. cToss salad well again, adjust seasonings if necessary, finish with a final grind of sea salt and if desired ground pepper. Lasts for days! Great as leftovers
