I love dishes that are fresh and summery in the dead of winter when all you want is spring. This is a great dish, and the sundried tomato dressing brings it alive. Of course, the fresh mozzarella and basil don't hurt either.
Sundried Tomato and Fresh Mozzarella Pasta Salad
Dressing
5 tbsp olive oil
1/2 c sundried tomatoes, packed in oil, drained
1 tbsp of oil from tomatoes
1/4 c red wine vinegar
1 tbsp capers
2 cloves garlic, minced
Salad
12 oz pasta, cooked
2 c cherry tomatoes, halved
8 oz fresh mozzarella cheese, cut into 1/2 pieces
1 c fresh basil leaves, thinly sliced
1/2 c fresh parmesan cheese, grated
Salt and Pepper
Cook pasta according to directions. In the meantime, process all dressing ingredients in food processor until tomatoes are coarsely chopped. Combine pasta, dressing, and rest of the ingredients. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve at room temperature.

I just found your site and just love your photos and recipes. This looks absolutely delicious! And I can't wait for things for spring to arrive, either.

I'm pretty sure I ate more than my share of this. I hope you weren't saving it for something special....
I've never seen tomato oil, any suggestions on where to purchase? I love love love fresh tomato and mozzarella salad and it's been a few years.
Jess - the tomato oil is actually just the oil from the sundried tomatoes. I'll update the recipe so it's a bit more clear.
Thanks for the heads up, my curiousity is sated.
