Step-by-Step Instructions
- Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Add 200g of rotini or fusilli, cooking for 8-10 minutes until al dente.
- While the pasta cools, take 150g of mini mozzarella balls and slice one black olive into rounds for each mozzarella ball.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta with 1 diced cucumber, 150g halved cherry tomatoes, and 1 each of diced red and yellow bell peppers.
- In a small bowl, whisk together 3 tablespoons of olive oil, 2 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar, and 1 teaspoon of Italian seasoning.
- Carefully pour the dressing over the combined ingredients in the mixing bowl and toss gently to coat.
- Finally, place the prepared mozzarella eyeballs atop the mixed pasta salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving.
