Summer Cookout Pasta Salad – Glen And Friends Cooking

Ingredients:
Dressing:
175 mL (¾ cup) olive oil
60 mL (¼ cup) vinegar 
1 clove garlic 
5 mL (1 tsp) dried oregano
5 mL (1 tsp) dried basil
5 mL (1 tsp) red pepper flakes
Salt  & Pepper to taste

Salad:
500g pasta (whatever shape you like)
1/2 medium red onion, sliced
1-2 ribs celery, chopped
3-4 radishes, chopped
1-2 bell peppers, chopped
1 cup grape tomatoes, sliced
Handful black olives, sliced
125 mL (½ cup) bocconcini
Parsley for serving

Method:
Bring a pot of salted water to a boil.
Make the dressing by emulsifying all of the ingredients in a blender jug or with a stick blender.
Cook the pasta to ‘al dente’.
While the past cooks, prep the veg and place into a large bowl.
If you want to soften the onion flavour, add it to the pasta for the last minute of cooking.
Drain the pasta, and add to the bowl with the vegetables.
Pour over the dressing and toss to coat.
Place in the fridge for an hour or two before serving.
When ready to serve, add the tomatoes, bocconcini, and parsley.

  5. I absolutely hate the fatty, salty, bitter taste of olives. But you said I could leave them out, so… So I didn't turn the video off but watched it till the end! By the way, when I make a vinaigrette, I use one third oil and two thirds lovely apple cider vinegar! I love it!

  10. I love that you encourage people to alter vegetables. Not sure if I’m really picky or if most of the vegetables I dislike just happen to be in this (raw onion, olives, radishes) I would probably do cucumber, red/orange/yellow peppers, maybe baby spinach and blanched broccoli (brocolini is not easy to find) perhaps some capers and Parmesan cheese as well… I love pasta salad and Jules is right, never have too many veggies… you could even substitute zucchini noodles for pasta if you’re watching carbs. (My father is diabetic) love your channel!!!!

  17. When emulsifying the dressing with the stick blender, does that prevent the oil from solidifying since the vinegar helps stop the lipids from binding together, or could the oil still solidify because it is more of a water/vinegar in oil mixture rather than oil in water/vinegar solution?

  27. a video idea, that might be weird and hard for you to do is a grocery store visit, i just think it would be interesting to see how you pick things out, maybe give info on why you choose what you do, etc.

    id watch it thats for sure. tho im biased cause i watch all you videos.

  30. Lovely, maybe this will bring me to appreciate pasta salads! Does anyone else have problems with vinegar in combination with pasta? I feel it's often kind of creating a harshness in the noodle?

  33. Hi Glen and Julie. I make a similar salad to this but I also add diced cucumbers and shredded carrots. If I have leftover chicken I sometimes add that too. In a pinch I’ll use bottled Greek dressing if I can’t make my own.

  34. I'm not a huge fan of celery and radish in mine, but I love making pasta salad with spinach, red onion, tomato, peperoncini, kalamata olives, and feta with a red wine, garlic, and oregano vinaigrette. Or with broccoli, sugar snap peas, carrots, red onions, and black olives with an type Italian dressing.
