Ingredients
Equipment
Method
- Boil pasta in salted water until tender with a slight bite. Drain and rinse until cool.
- Whisk olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper until blended and fragrant.
- Add pasta, tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, olives, onion, and basil to a large bowl.
- Pour dressing over the salad. Toss thoroughly until every piece looks glossy and evenly coated.
- Chill for 20 minutes before serving. Toss again so the flavors distribute evenly.
Notes
For softer texture, dress pasta while slightly warm. For firmer texture, chill pasta first. Freeze extra dressing only; fresh vegetables soften after thawing. Toss gently during assembly to keep vegetables intact. Add capers, artichokes, vegan parmesan, or extra herbs for flavor changes. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
