  • 2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
  • 1 large clove garlic, minced
  • Big pinch of salt
  • Black pepper
  • 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • Pasta Salad:

  • 2 medium yellow peppers, halved lengthwise
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Black pepper and salt to taste
  • 1 box cavatappi (or 1 pound of similarly fun pasta)
  • Bunch of cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 3/4 cup chopped Kalamata olives (if you live with someone who likes olives, otherwise leave them out)
  • 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
  • 1/2 small red onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

directions

  • 1

    To make the vinaigrette, whisk together the first five ingredients, then slowly whisk in the oil for a thick consistency. Put aside.

  • 2

    Adjust oven rack to highest position and turn broiler on high. Toss zucchini and bell pepper with olive oil, salt and pepper, and arrange on a large baking sheet. Broil 8-10 minutes, until spotty brown, turning zucchini slices and pepper halves once. Set aside in a large bowl to cool, then cut into bite-sized pieces.

  • 3

    Bring lightly salted pot of water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until tender. Drain thoroughly (do not rinse) and dump onto the baking sheet you used for veggies. Set aside to cool.

  • 4

    Put vegetables, pasta and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add dressing before serving.
