A refreshing and flavorful pasta salad with a Mediterranean twist, perfect for any occasion.
Cook the linguine in a large pot of boiling water until al dente, following the package instructions.
Stir the pasta occasionally to prevent it from sticking together.
Drain the cooked pasta and rinse it under cold water to cool it down.
Rinsing the pasta helps stop the cooking process and keeps it from becoming mushy.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, mushrooms, and red onion.
Cut the vegetables into bite-sized pieces for easier eating.
Pour the Italian dressing over the salad and toss everything together until well coated.
Adjust the amount of dressing to your taste preference.
Cover the salad and chill it in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours to let the flavors meld.
Stir the salad occasionally while chilling to ensure even flavor distribution.
Before serving, garnish the salad with fresh basil leaves.
Tear the basil leaves by hand to release their aroma.
