This refreshing and flavorful Lemon Capellini Salad is a delightful cold pasta dish, packed with juicy tomatoes and tangy capers in every bite!
INGREDIENTS
- 8 oz capellini or angel hair pasta
- 2 medium lemons (juice + 1 tsp zest)
- 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 1 ½ tsp garlic salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ½ cup diced tomatoes (seeds removed)
- 3 tbsp capers (drained)
- 1 tbsp curly leaf parsley (finely chopped)
INSTRUCTIONS
- Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until tender. Since capellini is very thin, it cooks quickly. Drain and rinse with cool water to stop the cooking process.
- In a large bowl, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, garlic salt, and black pepper.
- Add the cooked pasta, diced tomatoes, and capers to the bowl, tossing everything together. Stir in the chopped parsley for a fresh finish.
- Serve immediately or cover and refrigerate until ready to enjoy.
STORAGE TIPS
- Store in the fridge for up to 5 days.
- Toss before serving to redistribute the dressing.
Enjoy this zesty, flavorful pasta salad as a light lunch, side dish, or a refreshing addition to any meal!
