Easy Caprese Pasta Salad That All of Your Guests Will Love

Easy Caprese Pasta Salad That Your Guests Will Love

So simple. So delicious. Will be the star of any gathering.

I get all of my ingredients from Trader Joe’s bc I am loyal AF but do as you wish. If you decide to try it out, make sure to tag me on Instagram @juliabalageas so I can see your version!

 TO BUY

  • 1 package of fusilli pasta 
  • Thinly sliced calabrese salami
  • 2 tubs ciliegine mozzarella (these are the small balls)
  • Cherry or grape tomatoes
  • Fresh basil
  • Fresh garlic
  • 1 bottle balsamic vinaigrette
  • 21 Seasoning Salute (only at Trader Joe’s)

 TO DO

  • Cook pasta, drain, and set aside to cool
  • Cut up mozz, calabrese, and tomatoes into small, bite-size pieces
  • Finely chop 1-3 cloves of garlic 
  • Chop up 1/2 cup fresh basil 
  • Mix all ingredients with balsamic vinaigrette, a drizzle of olive oil, and salt & pepper to taste (also add a few dashes of 21 Seasoning Salute if you have it — this makes every dressing better)

 **TIP: I like to let this sit overnight so that the flavors set in/marinate.
