This Italian Pasta Salad Delight is a refreshing and flavorful dish perfect for any occasion.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente, then rinse with cold water and drain thoroughly.
Rinsing the pasta with cold water stops the cooking process and prevents it from sticking together.
Chop the onion, green pepper, tomatoes, and celery ribs into bite-sized pieces.
Ensure uniform chopping for even distribution in the salad.
Combine the pasta, chopped vegetables, green olives, black olives, and cubed provolone cheese in a large bowl.
Mix gently to avoid breaking the pasta or crushing the vegetables.
In a small bowl, whisk together the oregano, vinegar, and olive oil to create the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss until everything is evenly coated.
Ensure all ingredients are well coated for maximum flavor.
Refrigerate the salad for at least an hour before serving to allow the flavors to meld.
Cover the bowl with plastic wrap to keep the salad fresh while chilling.
Serve the salad chilled and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh basil leaves for an added touch of flavor and presentation.
