Scale

Ingredients

  • 1 pound pasta of choice
  • 1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
  • 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar, divided
  • 1 cup halved cherry tomatoes
  • 1/2 cup sliced black olives
  • 1 yellow bell pepper, diced
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/4 cup torn fresh basil leaves
  • 1/3 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 garlic clove, minced
  • 1 teaspoon sugar or maple syrup
  • salt/pepper

Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to package directions. Drain, rinse and set aside to cool.
  2. While the pasta is cooking, toss the thinly sliced onion with 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar.
  3. Chop the vegetables and make the dressing: whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar and olive oil along with the sugar, garlic clove and generous pinch salt and pepper (will depend on your pasta water that you salted, but I usually do ~1/2 teaspoon each).
  4. Drain any excess liquid off the onions, then toss with the cooked pasta, vegetables, herbs and dressing. Toss well to combine, season to taste, and enjoy.
