- This is a pasta salad I have for lunch. I leave it unassembled until
- the morning I eat it, so despite its complexity once it's made, it's not
- a big deal to put together.
-
- The proportions are for about 4 servings, give or take.
-
- DRESSING/MARINADE:
-
- 1 clove garlic
- 2 T olive oil
- 2 T balsamic vinegar
- 2 t dried basil
- 1/4 t ground black pepper
-
- Smash garlic and combine ingredients. Set aside.
-
-
- REST OF SALAD:
-
- 1-2 oz. sun-dried tomatoes, reconstituted (maybe 10 halves or so?)
- 3 oz. mozzarella cheese, diced (1/2" dice or so)
- 1 head broccoli, pieced and blanched (I steam it for around 2 or 3 minutes)
- 3 or 4 oz. pitted olives (whatever kind you like!)
- 1/4 c. red onion, minced
- 3/4 - 1 lb. pasta, cooked (I used rotelle)
-
- Put the cheese in the dressing overnight to marinade. Put the sundried
- tomatoes in a few tablespoons of olive oil.
-
- Mix it all together when you are ready to eat -- it will probably need
- a few more tablespoones of both olive oil and balsamic vinegar, and maybe
- a shake of salt or lemon juice or black pepper to liven it up.
-
- Enjoy!
