Salad Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cups fresh arugula
  • 2 tablespoons fresh basil sliced
  • 4 oz. Pepper Jack or other white cheese cut into chunks

  • 1/3 cup balsamic vinaigrette divided
  • 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese shaved

Instructions

  1. Prepare the balsamic vinaigrette by combining all ingredients in a salad shaker or glass jar with a tight-fitting lid. Cover and shake vigorously until thoroughly combined. Set aside.
  2. Prepare pasta according to package directions. (Add olive oil to the cooking water as instructed to prevent sticking). Rinse and drain well, and place in a large mixing bowl.
