This filling salad is my favorite, and is a staple salad in delicatessens in the U.S. I love it, so I make this quite often.

＊This looks even better if you add black olives and artichoke marinated in oil.
＊If using store-bought sun-dried tomatoes, they are often seasoned with salt. So try one, and adjust the amount of salt accordingly.
＊I added mirin, and reduced the amount of olive oil. The more oil you use, the better this salad will taste. Recipe by Tabesugiyarou

Steps

1

Bring water to a boil in a pot for the pasta. Add about 1 teaspoon of salt and a little oil, and boil the pasta. ＊Boil the pasta just a little longer than instructed on the package. Cooking the pasta al dente is not good for this recipe.
2

Cut the dried tomatoes in olive oil into 1 cm strips, and finely shred the fresh basil.
3

Combine Step 2, grated garlic, and the ＊ ingredients, and the dressing is ready.
4

Once the pasta is cooked, rinse in cold water until it firms up. Drain well, and toss with the tomato dressing from Step 3. Adjust the taste, and chill for 30 minutes if you like.

Dried tomatoes in olive oil are quite expensive. But you can make them easily by yourself!.
