Tuscan Picnic Pasta Salad

The pasta salad that does not get left behind on the buffet. Grilled vegetables, feta, tomatoes and a bright Tuscan vinaigrette bring enough color and flavor to make this one a cookout regular—and the leftovers somehow get even better overnight.

Method
 

  1. Cook pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse briefly under cool water, then transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Toss zucchini, squash and bell pepper with 1 tablespoon Ellbee's Basil Olive Oil, salt and pepper. Grill over medium-high heat until tender and charred in spots, then chop into bite-size pieces.
  3. Whisk the remaining Basil Olive Oil, Ellbee's Champagne Balsamic Vinegar, Ellbee's Tuscan Gourmet Garlic and Dijon. Toss with pasta, grilled vegetables, tomatoes, onion, feta and basil.
  4. Chill for at least 30 minutes, then taste for salt and pepper before serving.

Notes

Time: 30 min
Kitchen tip: Set aside a few tablespoons of dressing to revive the pasta right before serving if it has chilled overnight.
