Mediterranean-Style Pasta Salad with a delicious Basil Vinaigrette and Summer Vegetables! Who’s trying this?!
Thank you for another great recipe! Can’t wait to make this salad this weekend! Can you share the link to your beautiful outfit too?
Hi Suzy, this looks good, have to try it
s😋😋n. Like your your outfit may I ask for you bought it?
Cannot wait to make this!!!❤❤❤😊 thank you for posting!🎉
I'm making this today. I cooked pasta yesterday because I wanted a salad, but didn't get it together. I spritzed with olive oil and sprinkled with garlic powder and sealed in the fridge.
I'll be putting this together for lunch today. I'll have to make some substitutions, but looking forward to having this handy for the next few days! Having a side salad handy keeps me from craving a bag of chips with my sandwich! Jan
I’ll be making this sale for sure this weekend. I have all the ingredients except the purple pepper.

I've been cooking forever, and I never knew blanching basil was a thing! 🙌🏻
Am going to make this. Yum thanks Suzy
Good recipe but I think blanching the basil is a bit much it will be green either way
Oh my gawd! That looks delish! I can't wait to make it but first I need the urfa biber.
Thank you for the pasta salad recipe, I'm always looking for one that's different.
😊😊
Is the corn pre-cooked? Or raw on the cob? Does anyone know?
You lost me at throw it away like your ex boyfriend.
Keep the corn cobs and cook the juice out of it. Make corn chowder with the cobs.

5:40 We call it "isot". Pronounced as "eeh-sawt". Sun fried cayenne pepper or paprika. The color should be somewhere around purple to black because it's basically burnt under sun.
I love your style girlfriend
I Just made this recipe for dinner tonight and oh my…this pasta salad is simply DELICIOUS and with lots of flavor. My husband and I absolutely LOVED IT! Thank You So Much Suzy. Keep up the great work!
What can I substitute the urfa biber with?
My wife says it is the pasta salad of her dreams.
