Ingredients
For the Pasta Salad
- 2 cups cooked protein pasta cooled
- 1.5 cups cherry tomatoes cut
- 2 peaches chopped
- 1 cup corn kernels
- 1/2 cup feta crumbled
- 1/4 cup candied jalapeño chopped
- 1/4 cup fresh basil packed, chopped
For the Dressing
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 3 tbsp hot honey
- 3 tbsp white balsamic vinegar
- 1 tbsp honey mustard
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool completely. Set aside.
- While the pasta cools, chop the cherry tomatoes, peaches, and candied jalapeños. If using fresh corn, cook and cut the kernels off the cob. Otherwise, thaw frozen corn or drain canned corn.
- In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the olive oil, hot honey, white balsamic vinegar, honey mustard, salt, and pepper until well combined.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, peaches, corn, and candied jalapeños. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to coat.
- Sprinkle the crumbled feta and basil over the top and toss lightly to incorporate, being careful not to break up the feta too much.
- Refrigerate the pasta salad for at least 30 minutes before serving to let the flavors meld. Serve chilled or at room temperature. Store leftovers in the refrigerator for up to 4 days.
