  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
Dressing
  • 1 4 cup olive oil
  • 3 tbsp lemon juice fresh
  • 2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tbsp maple syrup
  • 1 tsp dijon mustard
  • 1 2 tsp salt or to taste
  • 1 4 tsp black pepper

Method
 

  1. Boil pasta in salted water until tender with a slight bite. Drain and rinse until cool.
  2. Whisk olive oil, lemon juice, vinegar, maple syrup, mustard, salt, and pepper until smooth.
  3. Add pasta and all prepared vegetables to a large bowl, keeping colors evenly distributed.
  4. Pour dressing over the salad. Toss gently until everything looks glossy and well coated.
  5. Chill for 20 minutes before serving. Toss again for the best texture and flavor.

Notes

For softer texture, dress pasta while slightly warm. For firmer texture, chill pasta first. Freeze extra dressing only; fresh vegetables lose crunch after thawing. Toss gently during assembly to keep colors bright and pieces intact. Add herbs, chickpeas, avocado, or seeds for flavor changes. Store covered in the refrigerator up to 4 days.
