How to Make Not Just Another Pasta Salad
- Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool the pasta quickly.
- While the pasta is cooking, prepare the vegetables: chop the bell pepper into ½-inch pieces, dice the red onion into ¼-inch pieces, and slice cherry tomatoes in half.
- In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, bell pepper, red onion, cherry tomatoes, Kalamata olives, and artichoke hearts.
- In a blender, combine the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon mustard, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper. Blend until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the desired amount of dressing over the pasta salad and toss gently to combine. Add more dressing as needed to your liking. Gently stir in the grated Parmesan cheese.
- Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Serve chilled with crusty bread. Extra dressing can be served on the side.
