Preparation
Boil a large pot of water, add the pasta and cook for 6 to 10 minutes, until tender.
Once cooked, drain the pasta well then rinse under cold water.
While the pasta is cooking, prepare the homemade dressing. In a large bowl, whisk the red wine vinegar, salt, pepper, oregano and olive oil until well combined.
Add the cooked pasta to the bowl and mix, until it’s covered in the dressing.
Add the pepper, zucchini, tomatoes, spring onion, olives, parsley, parmesan and mozzarella to the bowl, then mix well. Feel free to add more seasoning if you need to.
Cover the bowl and put it in the fridge for at least 30 minutes, then serve.
Tips
To store: Once the pasta has fully cooled, put this salad in an airtight container and keep it in the fridge for up to 5 days.
Vegan: To make this dish vegan, try substituting the parmesan and mozzarella for your favourite vegan-friendly cheese.
