How to Make Minestrone Salad
- Cook 1 pound farfalle pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well.
- Rinse the cooked pasta under cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down quickly.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooled pasta, 1 (15-ounce) can red kidney beans (drained and rinsed), 1/2 cup chopped pepperoni, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped green bell pepper, 1/2 cup chopped celery, 1/4 cup chopped fresh basil, and 1/4 cup grated Parmesan 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.
- Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss gently to combine.
- Serve immediately or chill for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld. Garnish with extra basil and Parmesan cheese, if desired.
