  • 1/4 cup olive oil

  3. Make the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, balsamic vinegar, and dried oregano. Set aside.

  4. Combine everything: In a large mixing bowl, add the cooked and cooled farfalle pasta, diced cucumber, red bell pepper, and cherry tomatoes. Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.

  5. Serve and garnish: Transfer the Insalata di Farfalle to a serving dish and garnish with fresh basil leaves for a pop of color.
