Time 31m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

Kosher salt
1 pound tricolor pasta, such as bow tie or fusilli
1/4 cup balsamic vinegar
2 to 3 teaspoons dijon mustard
Freshly ground pepper
2/3 to 3/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
1/3 cup diced sun-dried tomatoes
1/4 cup fresh basil, julienned
1/4 cup diced onion
2 large pickled pepperoncini peppers, diced
3 tablespoons halved black olives
2 teaspoons chopped fresh oregano
1 1/2 ounces feta cheese, crumbled
1 1/2 tablespoons grated romano cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and cook until al dente; drain, then rinse with cold water to cool.
  • Meanwhile, make the vinaigrette: Whisk the vinegar, mustard, 1 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a small bowl. Gradually whisk in enough of the oil to make a smooth dressing; season with salt and pepper.
  • Combine the sun-dried tomatoes, basil, onion, pepperoncini, olives and oregano in a bowl. Add the cooked pasta, 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1 teaspoon pepper. Add the vinaigrette and both cheeses and toss. Chill until ready to serve.

This salad is just okay. It's not bad, but it's not great either.

I found the dressing to be a bit too tangy. I would recommend using less balsamic vinegar.

This salad is a bit too oily for my taste. I would recommend using less olive oil.

I'm not a fan of olives, so I omitted them from the recipe. It was still delicious.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover pasta. I usually make it with whatever vegetables I have on hand.

I followed the recipe exactly and it turned out great. The only thing I would change is to add more olives.

I love the combination of flavors in this salad. The salty feta, tangy sun-dried tomatoes, and sweet balsamic vinegar all come together perfectly.
