Sunny Pasta Salad Recipe

Ingredients
  • 12 ounces rotini (corkscrew) pasta
  • 1/4 cup white-wine vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon water
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 2 teaspoons minced fresh herb leaves or 1/2 teaspoon dried
  • 1/8 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1/3 cup olive oil
  • 2 pints red or yellow pear tomatoes or cherry tomatoes or a combination, halved
  • 3/4 cup shredded carrots
  • 3/4 cup diced Fontina, Edam, or Swiss cheese
  • 1/2 cup chopped fresh basil leaves
Directions
In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the pasta until tender, about 8 minutes. Drain it in a colander, rinse well, and drain again. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, water, salt, sugar, tarragon, and pepper. Add the oil in a stream, whisking until well blended. Add the pasta and the remaining ingredients to the bowl and toss well. Serve the salad at room temperature. Serves 8 to 10.
