Gluten Free Pasta Salad with Mediterranean Vegetables
Serves 4-6
1/2 package Archer Farms® Gluten Free Fusili Pasta
	1 package Archer Farms® Frozen Mediterranean-Style Blend Vegetables 
	1/2 small red onion, diced
	1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
Archer Farms® Roasted Garlic & Herb Extra Virgin Olive Oil
	1/3 cup red wine vinegar, or to taste
	Kosher salt and black pepper, to taste
Fill a stockpot with water. Generously salt the water (salty like the sea!) and bring to a boil.
Add pasta and cook until done, about 10 minutes.
Meanwhile, quickly steam vegetables (about 2-3 minutes) or cook, covered, in a microwave for about 1 minute. Drain off any water and set aside.
Drain cooked pasta and transfer to a large bowl. Add vegetables, onions and tomatoes; season to taste with Roasted Garlic & Herb Extra Virgin Olive Oil and red wine vinegar. Season with salt and pepper; adjust seasonings to taste. Transfer to a large serving bowl or deep platter. Serve warm or chilled.
