How to Make Pasta Salad With Tomatoes And Peas

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add 1 pound of pasta (your favorite shape!) and cook until al dente according to package directions.
  2. Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water until completely cooled. Set aside.
  3. In a large bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup red wine vinegar, 2 tablespoons water, 1 teaspoon salt, 2 tablespoons sugar, 1 tablespoon chopped fresh tarragon, 1 clove garlic (minced), and freshly ground black pepper to taste.
  4. Slowly drizzle in 1/2 cup olive oil while whisking constantly until the vinaigrette emulsifies.
  5. Add the cooked pasta, 1 cup frozen peas (thawed), 4 cups cherry and pear tomatoes (halved or quartered if large), and 1/2 cup fresh basil leaves (chopped) to the bowl.
  6. Gently toss everything together until well combined. Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. Serve immediately or chill for later.
