Caprese Pasta Salad

Jump to Comments

As you may have guessed, this isn’t so different from the caprese pasta I made last night. The addition of kalamata olives lends a great brininess.

1 package of rotini tri-color pasta, cooked and drained

Half a package of grape tomatoes, halved

1/3 log of fresh mozzarella, cubed

basil leaves, torn

arugula leaves, torn

1/2 a jar of kalamata olives, the larger ones halved

sherry vinegar

olive oil

salt and pepper

Cook pasta according to package directions – drain and chill.

Make a vinaigrette out of oil and vinegar. Toss pasta with dressing, and remaining ingredients. Chill and serve.
