Pasta Salad Dressing Recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
- 1 tsp garlic granules
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp ground mustard seeds
- 1/4 tsp salt & pepper
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1 tsp dried basil
Optional: You can substitute the individual herbs for 1 tsp of mixed herbs if desired.
Instructions:
- Place all the ingredients into a container with a leak-proof lid.
- Shake the container vigorously for about 30 seconds until all ingredients are well combined.
- Pour the dressing over your prepared pasta salad and toss well to evenly coat the salad.
The dressing will add a tangy, herb-filled flavor that perfectly complements the ingredients in your salad. In our pasta salad, we used spiral pasta, cherry tomatoes, corn kernels, capsicum, red onion, beetroot, grated zucchini, and salami, but you can customise the salad with your favourite vegetables, proteins, or vegan alternatives.
