Summer Pasta Salad

This year is flying by at the speed of light, so we’ve come up with a super easy, super quick, super delicious lunch that you can throw together to take with you to work this week.

Ingredients

• • 12 oz. bow tie pasta
  • 2 medium cheery tomatoes
  • 1 medium courgette
  • 1 medium broccoli crown
  • ½ medium red onion
  • ⅔ (15 oz.) jar roasted red peppers
  • ½ bunch parsley

• ¼ cup vegetable oil
• ¼ cup olive oil
• ⅓ cup red wine vinegar
• 1 Tbsp dijon mustard
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• 1 tsp minced garlic
• ¾ tsp salt
• to taste fresh cracked black pepper

Instructions

1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add the pasta and boil for 5-7 minutes or until tender. Drain in a colander.
2. While you’re waiting for the pasta water to boil and the pasta to cook, prepare the vegetables (courgette, broccoli, tomato, onion, parsley, red pepper). Give the vegetables a good wash and then cut into bite sized pieces (onions and red pepper thinly sliced; parsley removed from stems and chopped).
3. While the pasta is cooling, prepare the vinaigrette. In a small bowl whisk together the vegetable oil, olive oil, red wine vinegar, dijon mustard, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper.
4. Combine the cooked pasta, chopped vegetables, and vinaigrette. Stir until everything is well mixed and coated with vinaigrette. Serve immediately or refrigerate until ready to eat.
