Caprese Pasta Salad

Name: Caprese Pasta Salad

This recipe keeps it pretty simple, with the exception of adding arugula. Feel free to add your favorite vegetables into the mix. Sometimes I like adding green olives and shaved zucchini.

More About This Recipe

This salad gets better when the pasta has a chance to soak up the dressing. If you’re making this salad ahead of time, add the basil and arugula before serving.
