This is a light and tasty salad-great for potlucks or just for a side. I like it with grilled chicken and fresh yeast rolls. The cook time is really the chilling time. Ingredients:
1 (8 ounce) box uncooked ziti pasta |
3 cups fresh plum tomatoes, chopped |
1/3 cup olive oil |
1/4 cup finely chopped onion |
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar or 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil |
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley |
1 garlic clove, finely chopped |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
ground black pepper |
1 cup garlic-flavored croutons |
Directions:
1. Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain.
2. Rinse with cold water to cool quickly; drain well.
3. In large bowl, stir together tomatoes, oil, onion, vinegar, basil, garlic and salt; add fresh ground black pepper to taste.
4. Cover and refrigerate.
5. Garnish with the croutons right before serving.
6. This recipe can be doubled.
