Quick and easy pasta salad

I’ve lost track of how many times I’ve made this simple pasta salad. The delicious flavor of the dish comes from a combination of fresh vegetables, olives, herbs, mozzarella and a homemade spicy dressing. It will be perfect for you.
In less than twenty minutes, you can make this easy pasta salad! You can prepare all the ingredients for this salad while the pasta is cooking.

The dressing is light, sour and easy to prepare. You probably already have everything you need to prepare it in your kitchen. If you’re in the mood for a creamy pasta salad, I recommend this macaroni salad.
This
pasta salad with all toppings is the official potluck salad of our house. Leave out everything that doesn’t interest you. First, the spaghetti salad is served.
Pasta salad is best prepared with hearty pasta such as farfalle, flies, rotini and fusilli. The dressing and cheese pieces are caught by the many nooks and crannies, which is a plus. This delicious lemon orzo pasta salad is made with orzo, which happens to be one of my favorite dishes.
The vegetable offers a rainbow of hues, an explosion of flavor, and a satisfying crunch in the pasta salad. The combination of cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, zucchini (which I can assure you is fantastic), and green onions (which are milder than regular onions) is one of my favorite combinations.

 

The grated Parmesan almost melts with the sauce, much like a homemade Italian dressing. To make this pasta salad vegan, just skip the cheese.
Olives: I love the salty-sour taste of olives. Olives, green or Kalamata. 

Adding pepperoncini to this salad is always a hit with me. A small amount of brine from the jar was also added to my dressing.
As for the herbs, I prefer parsley and basil. Discover your own preferences by trying new things.

The pasta salad recipe requires:
Dried pasta (penne, rotini, fusilli, farfalle, etc.), one pound

If you cut half of a medium-sized zucchini into thin pieces, you get a cup of zucchini.

cherry tomatoes, one cup, halved

Five to six onions, coarsely chopped, one-third of a cup in size

Half a cup of chopped banana peppers or pepperoncini, if desired.

Use 1/3 cup of fresh basil or parsley, depending on your preference.

Make your own dressing

A third cup of vinegar, red, white or champagne.

Add half a teaspoon of fine sea salt; Adjust the seasoning to taste.

half a teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Dried oregano, half a teaspoon

As an optional ingredient, you can use two or three tablespoons of pepperoncini liquid.

A quarter cup of extra virgin olive oil

First, boil enough water and season it in a large pot with salt. For pasta, the recommended cooking time is six to ten minutes, or until it reaches a soft, easily digestible consistency. Pay attention to the package for the recommended cooking time. Carefully empty the contents and wash the material under cold water.

Transfer the dressing to the bottom of a large bowl and set aside while the pasta cooks. Combine the olive oil, pepperoncini juice (if desired), oregano, salt, pepper, red wine vinegar and stir to combine. Mix the drained and rinsed pasta with the dressing.

 

Stir in the zucchini cubes, tomatoes, spring onions, pepperoncini (if desired), olives, Parmesan, mozzarella and herbs (if desired) with the remaining ingredients. To mix everything together, stir well. Check the spices by tasting the dish; Add salt and pepper if needed. It is recommended to put the dish in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes and no more than 5 days before serving for optimal results.
