A vibrant and flavorful pasta salad perfect for gatherings or as a refreshing meal.
Cook the pasta in boiling water with a pinch of salt until al dente.
Adding salt to the water enhances the pasta's flavor.
Drain the pasta and rinse under cold water to cool.
Rinsing with cold water stops the cooking process and prevents sticking.
Chop the vegetables and herbs into bite-sized pieces.
Uniformly sized pieces ensure even distribution in the salad.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the pasta, vegetables, olives, cheese, almonds, and herbs.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the pasta or vegetables.
Whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, garlic, crushed red pepper, and salt in a small bowl.
Taste the dressing and adjust seasoning as needed.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Ensure all ingredients are well coated for maximum flavor.
Cover the salad and chill in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling allows the flavors to meld together beautifully.
Serve the salad in a large bowl or individual plates, garnished with extra herbs if desired.
A sprig of fresh basil on top adds a touch of elegance.
