Classic Italian Pasta Salad 

Italian Pasta Salad is always a hit … but classic pasta salad recipes are typically loaded with unwanted fat and white carbs. 

This easy recipe has all the bold flavors you love, but a few simple tweaks make it so much healthier, too! It’s the perfect dish to share at picnics and potlucks.

• whole wheat rotini • cherry tomatoes • english cucumber • fresh mozzarella • red wine vinegar

Ingredients

In a large bowl, combine cooled pasta, tomatoes, cucumber, mozzarella, pepperoni, and onion.

1.

In a medium bowl, whisk vinegar, oil, honey, mustard, salt, oregano, basil, and black pepper until emulsified.

2.

Pour about 1/2 cup of the dressing over the salad and toss to combine. If serving salad immediately, you can add more dressing at this time.

3.

This salad keeps well for at least 5 days, although note the suggestion above to reserve some of the dressing to moisten your salad prior to serving.
