Grape tomatoes, fresh mozzarella balls, basil, and pesto tossed with some small pasta – any shape will do.
Caprese Pesto Pasta Salad
Any short pasta will do here such as farfalle, rigatoni, penne, elbows, ziti,…you name it.
Now with traditional Caprese Salad there are layers of tomatoes, mozzarella, basil, and a drizzle of balsamic.
The key to giving that extra bite is to mix a little balsamic in the dressing. Any more than about 1/2 a teaspoon will start to turn your pasta brown.
Of course if you use white balsamic vinegar you can add as much as you want. This screams summer!!
