CLASSIC PASTA SALAD WITH MOZZARELLA, AVOCADO AND BASIL



Classic Pasta Salad With Mozzarella, Avocado and Basil image

With its colorful jumble of tomatoes, avocado, olives, mozzarella and cucumber, this has everything you've ever wanted in a pasta salad. But feel free to customize the ingredients to suit your own tastes (see Tip), and to add lemon and salt to the dressing to taste. As long as you don't overcook the pasta, and add it while still hot to the dressing, you really can't go wrong. Make this a few hours ahead so the flavors have a chance to meld, but be sure not to add the avocado until just before serving.

Tips:

  • Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes: This will ensure that your pasta salad has the best possible flavor. Look for tomatoes that are deep red and have no blemishes.
  • Choose a high-quality mozzarella cheese: Fresh, milky mozzarella will give your pasta salad the best texture and flavor. Avoid using pre-shredded mozzarella, as it is often dry and flavorless.
  • Use a variety of salami: This will add depth and complexity of flavor to your pasta salad. Some good options include pepperoni, Genoa salami, and soppressata.
  • Make sure the pasta is cooked al dente: This means that it should be cooked until it is tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked pasta will become mushy and ruin the texture of your pasta salad.
  • Dress the pasta salad with a light vinaigrette: This will help to brighten the flavors of the salad and keep it from becoming too dry. Use a ratio of 3 parts olive oil to 1 part vinegar, and season with salt, pepper, and dried oregano.
  • Chill the pasta salad before serving: This will help to meld the flavors and make the salad more refreshing. Serve the salad within 24 hours of making it, as the pasta will start to absorb the dressing and become soggy after that.

Conclusion:

Tomato Mozzarella Salami Pasta Salad is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for summer gatherings. With its vibrant colors and fresh flavors, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it. Plus, it's a great way to use up leftover cooked pasta. So next time you're looking for a light and refreshing meal, give this recipe a try!
