PREPARATION:
To make the salad:
1. Cook the rotini pasta until it reaches the “al dente” stage, following the directions on the box. Drain, then rinse with ice water to bring down the temperature.
2 Place the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, red onion, black olives, pepperoni pieces, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
To prepare the dressing:
1 In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, chopped garlic, and salt & and pepper to taste by whisking all of the ingredients together.
2: Pour the dressing over the pasta salad, then mix it around with your hands until all of the components are evenly covered.
Folks from the South will get it – these potatoes were a staple. Can’t shake the craving for more!
