Italian Pasta Salad with Balsamic Vinegar
Ingredients
  • 2/3 cup elbow pasta
  • 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup fresh mozzarella, diced
  • 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes
  • 5 leaves of basil
  • 1/2 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
  • 1/3 cup cooked ham, julienned
Directions
  1. Bring a small pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta 1 minute less than package directions; drain. Drizzle with a tiny amount of olive oil to prevent the pasta from sticking together, then lay it flat on a platter to cool down.
  2. Toss pasta with olive oil, mozzarella, cherry tomatoes, basil, balsamic vinegar, and ham; serve in Mason jars.
