This Pasta Salad is a perfect dish for summer picnics. It is quick and easy, and very tasty at the same time. The addition of fresh basil, and balsamic vinegar, and fresh tomatoes make a perfect combination of flavors. It is that kind of dish that you can improvise any way you’d like. You can use any kind of pasta. Any kind of balsamic vinegar would work just fine. The amount of tomatoes, peppers, cheese and basil is all up to you. Have you taste buds do the judgment.
Ingredients:
- 1 package of pasta (I used organic pasta from Trader Joe’s)
- fresh basil leaves, thinly cut
- cherry or grape tomatoes, cut in half
- 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar (I used Orange Muscat Champagne Vinegar from Trader Joe’s)
- freshly grated parmesan cheese
- fresh ground pepper
Combine all the ingredients, and toss salad gently, just before serving.
Top with parmesan cheese and fresh ground pepper.
Enjoy!
