Pasta Salad
RECIPE COURTESY OF MICHAEL SYMON
Level: Easy
Total: 25 min
Active: 20 min
Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 pound orecchiette pasta
2 cups extra-virgin olive oil
1 cup red wine vinegar
1/2 cup sour cream
1 tablespoon fresh oregano leaves, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, grated
2 tomatoes, medium diced
1 cucumber, medium diced
1 small red onion, small diced
1 cup fresh basil leaves, torn
1/2 cup fresh parsley leaves, roughly chopped

Directions

Set up a grill for direct medium-high heat by building the coals evenly on the bottom. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta 2 minutes less than the package directions.

Meanwhile, whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, sour cream, oregano and garlic in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper. Drain the pasta and, while still hot, add to the bowl with dressing. Mix to combine. It will appear loose, but as it sits, the pasta will soak up all that extra dressing. Add the tomatoes, cucumber and onion. Mix to combine. Garnish with the basil and parsley right before serving. Enjoy.

This is a great, quick, easy pasta salad that has lots of flavor. I was so glad to see what dressing you made. Thanks so much.

Symon looks more like a certain action star than a famous chef. Slap on a purple costume and an eye mask, the Phantom cooks you a pasta salad! ^-^ Just kidding, bald is beautiful.

Over and above the sour cream, I'm good ! 😀

[meltz]

Chef, what brand of red wine vinegar do you use?

[janetl]

Any good suggestions to make it vegan?

[paulpennacchia]

It's "vinaigrette ", not "vinegarette". It's "may have come", not "may have came". It's amazing how many people on TV or Youtube have no basic language skills!
