Summer pasta salad you’ll keep in the fridge all week 🥗✨
There’s something about cold pasta salad that just makes summer easier. It’s quick to throw together, and you can eat it straight from the fridge when the heat makes you too lazy to cook.
Here’s what I did:
I boiled a box of rotini until al dente, then rinsed it under cold water to stop the cooking. While it cooled, I chopped up cucumbers, cherry tomatoes, red onion, and a handful of black olives. For a little protein, I diced some salami, but grilled chicken or even chickpeas would work too.
The dressing was simple: olive oil, red wine vinegar, a spoon of Dijon mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper. I whisked it until smooth, then tossed everything together with a shower of crumbled feta.
The trick is to make it ahead of time and let it sit in the fridge for at least an hour—the flavors mingle and the pasta soaks it all up. The next day, it tastes even better.
Perfect for BBQs, picnics, or just when you need something cool and comforting on a hot day.
