Basil Summer Salad

How to make this delicious summer pasta salad that is enhanced with basil for a delicious, fresh flavor!

I saw a simple but delightful easy salad recipe on Mothering with Creativity and it made my mouth water.  I decided to make her recipe with my own twist . . . something you can do too.  It’s Basil Summer Salad that is quick and fresh and a perfect picnic salad for summertime!

 

 

The key to this salad is BASIL.  Fresh basil.  Go get some.

 

 

 

 
 
 
 
 

 

 
 

Basil Summer Salad

2-3 Roma tomatoes, chopped
1 cucumber, chopped
1 can of black olives, sliced in half
1 cup fresh basil leaves (you can chop them if you want)
2-3 TB Parmesan cheese
2 TB olive oil
1 TB apple cider vinegar, if desired
garlic to taste (powder or minced is fine)
salt and pepper to taste
3 cups of pasta noodled, cooked and drained
 
 
 
 
 

 Chop tomatoes, cukes, and olives.  Add LOTS of basil leaves, olive oil, apple cider vinegar, garlic, Parmesan cheese, salt & pepper.  Make sure it’s all well coated.  I think this would make even a great salad on it’s own like this.  Just add a little more vinegar.

 

 

 

 

 
Then stir in some pasta noodles of your choice.  These are No Yolk Noodles.
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 I also add some mozzarella cheese chunks.  I put them in right before serving so they don’t get soggy.  This night I actually used cheese sticks (cuz that’s all I had).  Still good.
 
 
 
 
 
 

Make sure it’s all mixed in well.

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
LOVE IT!
