Caprese Pasta Salad is a bright, tangy summer salad that is perfect to take to a potluck or picnic. This easy recipe can be scooped onto a bed of lettuce or a hearty piece of garlic bread, or served as a side to any grilled meat!

Ingredients

1 pound rotini (cooked & cooled)
3 cups grape tomatoes (halved)
1 1/2 cups mozzarella cheese (cubed)
1/3 cup red onion (diced)
1/4 cup sun dried tomatoes
1/4 cup basil (chopped)
2 tablespoons balsamic glaze
1/2 cup olive oil
3-4 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1 clove garlic (minced)

Steps

Place dressing ingredients in a small bowl and whisk to combine. Add tomatoes to dressing mix and allow to marinate at room temperature at least 30 minutes.

Combine pasta, mozzarella, red onion and sun dried tomatoes in a large bowl. Toss with tomato/dressing mixture and season with salt & pepper to taste.

Refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.

Chop fresh basil. Drizzle salad with balsamic glaze and sprinkle basil on top just before serving.
