Ingredients
For the pasta salad:
1 cup uncooked pasta (I used quinoa pasta)
2 chopped roasted bell peppers
1/2 cup chopped bell pepper
1/4 cup olives, sliced
1/4 cup roughly chopped parsley
For the marinade:
2 tablespoons good quality olive oil
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions, until al dente. Drain and set aside to cool.
While pasta is cooking, prepare dressing: In a small bowl whisk together dressing ingredients until uniform consistency occurs. Set aside.
When pasta is full cooked, add to a large mixing bowl with all other pasta salad ingredients (peppers, olives, parsley). Toss together with marinade until pasta and vegetables are evenly coated.
You may serve immediately, but for best results refrigerate for at least an hour so flavors can meld.
Before serving, add additional dressing to taste. Enjoy!
