PREPARATION:
To make the salad:
1. Cook the rotini pasta until it reaches the “al dente” stage, following the directions on the box. Drain, then rinse with ice water to bring down the temperature.
2 Place the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, red onion, black olives, pepperoni pieces, mozzarella cheese, and fresh basil in a large mixing bowl. Mix well.
To prepare the dressing:
1 In a small bowl, combine the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, Dijon mustard, chopped garlic, and salt & and pepper to taste by whisking all of the ingredients together.
2: Pour the dressing over the pasta salad, then mix it around with your hands until all of the components are evenly covered.
If you were raised in the South, you likely had these potatoes a few times a month. It’s still a dish I crave today!
