Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup olive oil
1/4 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon dried oregano, crumbled
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 cup chopped fresh basil

  • Chill 1 hour tossing occasionally to distribute flavor.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh, flavorful ingredients will make a big difference in the taste of your pasta salad. Choose ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and flavorful cheese.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: Al dente pasta is slightly firm to the bite and will hold its shape better in the salad.
  • Let the pasta cool before adding the other ingredients: This will help prevent the pasta from becoming mushy.
  • Dress the salad lightly: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will make the salad soggy.
  • Add some fresh herbs: Fresh herbs, such as basil, oregano, or parsley, will brighten up the flavor of the salad.
  • Serve the salad chilled: Pasta salad is best served chilled. This will help the flavors meld together and make the salad more refreshing.
