Recipe: Italian Summer Pasta Salad

This recipe is perfect for a work lunch or potluck (or anytime tbh), because it is so easy to make! It takes 20 minutes to make and tastes great after storing in the fridge. If you want to give it more of a Greek flare, switch the mozzarella for feta!

INGREDIENTS

• Pasta of your choice (I used bow tie)

• English cucumber (thinly sliced)

• Thinly sliced red onion

• Cherry tomatotes (halved)

• Mini mozzarella balls - sliced in half or quarters (you could also use feta if you want it to be a little more greek)

• Pitted kalamata olives (halved) - you can use black olives if you want I’m just a kalamata girly

• Chopped fresh parsley

• Optional: thinly sliced salami

For the dressing:

• 1/2 cup olive oil

• 1/4 cup red wine vinegar

• Minced garlic

• Salt and pepper

• Dash of honey or agave

1. Cook your pasta, and set aside to cool

2. Chop up all of your ingredients

We hope you enjoy!
