Recipe View 2 mins Pour the vinaigrette over the salad and toss gently to coat all the ingredients evenly. Serve immediately, or chill for later.

For the best flavor, use high-quality extra-virgin olive oil and fresh, ripe vegetables.
Feel free to customize the salad with other Mediterranean ingredients, such as cucumber, artichoke hearts, or sun-dried tomatoes.
The vinaigrette can be made ahead of time and stored in the refrigerator for up to a week.
To prevent the pasta from sticking together, toss it with a little olive oil after draining.
This salad is delicious served chilled or at room temperature.
If packing this salad for a picnic, consider keeping the dressing separate and tossing it with the salad just before serving to prevent the pasta from becoming soggy.
