Ingredients

Vinaigrette

½ cup olive oil $1.40
⅓ cup red wine vinegar $0.49
1 Tbsp Dijon mustard $0.06
1 tsp dried oregano $0.14
1 garlic clove minced, $0.06
¾ tsp salt $0.03
¼ tsp black pepper freshly cracked, $0.04

Salad

12 oz. bowtie pasta $0.98
2 Roma tomatoes 215g, $0.40
1 yellow squash 275g, $0.90
1 zucchini 200g, $0.65
1 crown broccoli $1.83
½ cup fresh parsley chopped, $0.54
1 12oz. jar roasted red peppers drained, $2.13
½ red onion 130g, $0.54

Instructions

Gather your ingredients.
Make the vinaigrette first. Whisk together the olive oil, red wine vinegar, Dijon, oregano, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Set the dressing aside.
Cook the bowtie pasta according to the package directions (boil 7-10 minutes or until tender), then drain in a colander. Rinse briefly to cool the pasta, then let it drain well.
While the pasta is cooking and draining, prepare the vegetables. Chop the tomatoes, squash, zucchini, broccoli, and parsley. Slice the roasted red peppers (drained) and the red onion.
Place the pasta and chopped vegetables in the largest bowl you have. Give the vinaigrette a brief whisk, then pour it over the salad. Stir the pasta and vegetables until everything is coated in dressing. Give it a taste and add salt or pepper, if needed. Serve immediately, or refrigerate until ready to eat.
