Comment préparer Best Ever Pasta Salad
- Cook 1 pound of pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool completely.
- While the pasta cooks, prepare the vegetables: Chop 1 cup of cherry or grape tomatoes in half, 1/2 cup of red onion into thin slices, 1 green bell pepper into 1/2-inch pieces, and 1/2 cup of chopped fresh basil.
- Prepare the protein and cheese: Dice 1 cup of cooked chicken or ham into bite-sized pieces and shred 1 cup of mozzarella cheese.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup olive oil, 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, chopped vegetables, meat, and cheese. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat evenly.
- Cover the bowl and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, or preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to meld. This step is crucial for the best taste!
- Serve chilled and enjoy!
