Elaboración paso a paso
- To prepare a delicious pasta salad, start by cooking the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Once it's cooked, drain the pasta and let it cool completely. While the pasta is cooling, you can prepare the other ingredients. Chop the tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper and set them aside. Mix lemon juice with olive oil and a pinch of salt for the dressing. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with the chopped vegetables. Slowly pour the dressing over the salad and mix well to ensure everything is coated. Finish by sprinkling feta cheese and basil leaves on top. Store the salad in the fridge for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow the flavors to blend.
Notas
- Transfer the salad to an airtight container.
- Refrigerate the pasta salad: Place the container in the refrigerator and ensure the salad is always refrigerated. Please do not leave the salad out of the refrigerator for more than 2 hours to prevent it from spoiling.
- Eat within 3-4 days: Pasta salad can last in the fridge for 3-4 days if stored properly. After that time, it can start to lose flavor and texture.
- Add additional dressing if needed: You may need to add a little more dressing to the salad before serving it again, as some ingredients can soak up the dressing over time.
