A pasta salad in the spirit of a caprese salad: juicy cherry tomatoes, the most delicious marinade and creamy mozzarella.
Caprese pasta salad can be served as a side for the barbecue or roast chicken, or as a main-course salad with or without meat, with a piece of bread or similar alongside.
Leftover pasta salad is perfect for a packed lunch.

Method
Marinade
- Stir the ingredients for the marinade together and season to taste with salt and pepper.Set aside and leave to infuse while you make the salad.
Caprese pasta salad
- Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions, then rinse under plenty of cold water. Leave the pasta to drain well in a sieve.
- Mix the pasta with the marinade in a large bowl, then fold in the halved tomatoes.If you are using rocket or microgreens, fold them into the salad now too.
- Arrange on a plate and top the salad with the diced avocado and the mozzarella.I like to "'open"' the mozzarella, tear off a few pieces and scatter them around the plate, but otherwise leave it sitting in the middle. Do exactly as you prefer, though. If there is more marinade left in the bottom of the bowl, pour it over the mozzarella.
- Top with plenty of fresh basil and freshly ground pepper.
