PASTA SALAD

This pasta salad has everything you could want in the bowl: loads of ripe tomatoes, chunks of mozzarella, sliced olives, salami and plenty of fresh green herbs, all tossed in a garlicky, oregano-spiked red wine vinaigrette. Serve it the same day it's made for the brightest flavor and best texture.

Steps:

  • Make the dressing: Combine vinegar, garlic, oregano and a big pinch each salt and pepper in a large bowl. Whisk in oil; taste and add more salt, pepper or vinegar as needed. Set aside.
  • Prepare the pasta: Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions until the pasta is al dente. Drain well, transfer to the large bowl, and toss with the dressing while still warm.
  • Add tomatoes, mozzarella, salami, olives, cucumber and onion to the bowl and toss well; fold in herbs. Taste and season with more salt, pepper and vinegar, if you like.
  • Drizzle with olive oil and top with cracked black pepper just before serving.

3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, plus more to taste
1 garlic clove, finely grated or minced
1 teaspoon dried oregano
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling
1 pound short-cut pasta, such as farfalle
1 pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
8 ounces mozzarella, cubed (or use small mozzarella balls)
4 ounces sliced salami, cut into 1/4-inch ribbons
3/4 cup sliced Kalamata olives
1/2 cup thinly sliced cucumber
3 tablespoons diced red onion
1 cup coarsely chopped fresh parsley and basil leaves

  • Cook pasta according to package directions, in salted water for more flavor. Allow to cool slightly and toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.
