Total time: 
Serves: 2-4
 
Ingredients
  • 2 cups Bowtie or pasta of your choice
  • 1 small carton of cherry tomatoes
  • 1 bell pepper – color of your choice
  • 1 Persian cucumber
  • Vinaigrette
  • 1 tablespoon of minced shallot, or red onion
  • 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard
  • ¼ cup red wine vinegar
  • ¾ cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 2 tablespoons basil
Instructions
  1. Bring water to boil. Add salt until it taste like the sea. (approximately a tablespoon per quart of water.) Cook until tender - approximately 9 to 1o minutes. Drain and add to vegetables while still warm. They will absorb the vinaigrette if still warm.
  2. Small dice all vegetables. I place my shallot in cold water to rinse the strong taste from them, drain, and dry them on a paper towel, then put them in the vinegar to keep them from oxidizing.
  3. Mix vinegar, shallot/onion, mustard in a bowl. Add vegetables. Add oil. Add pasta. Add herbs. Adjust seasonings.
