Yield: 6-8

Bowtie pasta is tossed with cherry tomatoes, asparagus, bell peppers, red onion, mozzarella pearls, and fresh parsley in a bold Tuscan Harvest vinaigrette.
Letting the salad rest before serving allows the dressing to soak into the pasta and deepen the flavors, making it ideal for potlucks and meal prep.
Add grilled chicken or chickpeas for extra protein, swap in seasonal vegetables like zucchini or green beans, and finish with a squeeze of lemon for extra brightness.

Ingredients

For The Salad:
1 lb tri-color rotini
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
1 English cucumber, quartered and sliced
1/2 small red onion, thinly sliced
8 oz fresh mozzarella pearls
1/2 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
For The Dressing:
2 tbsp Tuscan Harvest
2/3 cup oil
1/3 cup vinegar

Preparation Instructions:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the rotini until al dente according to package directions. Drain and rinse briefly under cold water to stop the cooking. Let cool completely.

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, & Tuscan Harvest seasoning until well combined. Let it stand for 15 minutes.

In a large serving bowl, combine the cooled pasta, tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, mozzarella pearls, and basil.

Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently until every piece of pasta is evenly coated.

Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to meld.

Give the salad one final toss before serving. Taste and adjust with an extra sprinkle of Tuscan Harvest, salt, or a squeeze of lemon if desired.
