Pasta Salad

I love a good summer pasta salad. This Bruschetta Pasta Salad from SkinnyTaste.com puts together fresh and flavorful ingredients. I added grilled chicken for protein on mine!

10pts per serving for WW!

Ingredients:

🍅Aromatics: Shallot and garlic infuse the pasta salad with a rich, savory flavor that complements the fresh tomatoes and basil.

🍅Pasta Salad Dressing: Red wine vinegar, extra virgin olive oil, salt, and pepper create a simple Italian vinaigrette.

🍅Tomatoes: I used plum tomatoes for the bruschetta topping.

🍅Mozzarella: Chop a ball of fresh mozzarella into small pieces or use perlini, the smallest size of mozzarella (about the size of pearls).

🍅Pasta: I used Rigatoni

🍅Basil: No bruschetta is complete without fresh basil.

🍅Balsamic Glaze: Drizzle balsamic glaze over the finals dish before serving!

Cook Pasta: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Then add the pasta and cook to al dente.

Pasta Salad Dressing: Combine the shallot, garlic, vinegar, oil, salt, and pepper in a large bowl and let marinate for 5 to 10 minutes.

Remaining Ingredients: Stir in the tomatoes, mozzarella, and pasta, followed by the basil. Top with balsamic glaze.

Enjoy 😋

... Read moreBruschetta pasta salad is a delightful combination of fresh flavors, making it a go-to dish for summer gatherings. It's ideal for anyone looking for light and healthy meal options. This salad not only offers a burst of flavors from fresh tomatoes, mozzarella, and basil but also brings together the satisfying texture of rigatoni pasta. The red wine vinegar and olive oil dressing enhance the taste while keeping the dish light. Adding grilled chicken elevates the protein content, making it a suitable option for those on a weight management journey, as endorsed by the Weight Watchers (WW) system. For a more vibrant presentation, consider garnishing with additional fresh basil or a drizzle of balsamic glaze just before serving to enhance the flavor profile. This dish is versatile too; it can be served warm or cold, making it perfect for picnics or BBQs. Embrace the joys of summer dining with this easy-to-make recipe that brings the flavors of Italy right to your table.
