Do you have a pile of pasta that you don’t know what to do with? This Italian, tangy salad will breath life into day old pasta!

(Or it can be called: Memorial Day Pasta Salad since I invented it yesterday)!

6 c. cooked spaghetti pasta

2/3 lb. mozzarella cheese, cubed (about 2 cups)

1 ½ cup. chopped tomatoes

1 cup. chopped green pepper

Dressing:

6 cloves garlic, minced (2 Tblsp)

2 Tblsp. Balsamic vinegar

2 Tblsp. Red Wine vinegar

½ cup olive oil

1 Tblsp. dried basil

2 tsp. dried oregano

1 tsp. sea salt

½ tsp. freshly ground pepper

Mix together the first three ingredients in a large bowl. In a cup measure, mix together the dressing mixture and pour into the pasta. Toss until the dressing is evenly coating the salad. Refrigerate for 2 hours, and then serve! Serves 8.
Enjoy with some ribs or something else that has been grilled. 🙂
