Grill some chicken and serve it alongside this amazing Roasted Pepper and Burrata Pasta Salad! It’s an alfresco dinner made easy!

You’ll want to make this pasta salad on repeat all summer long because it’s so quick and easy to put together. It’s a vegetarian meal in itself but even better with grilled chicken or fish…or even shrimp! Filled with healthy roasted peppers, lots of fresh basil, red onion and creamy burrata and topped with a honey vinaigrette…this pasta couldn’t get any better…creamy and delicious! Be sure to make extra vinaigrette to toss with a green salad!

If you’re a basil lover as I am…use as much as you like! The flavor of the basil really compliments the salad and makes it so healthy! I’ve been cooking with basil so often lately that I decided to plant some in my yard so I could have as much as I like! I’ll be making pesto to freeze for winter so we can enjoy the fresh taste of basil all year long!

This salad comes together really quickly but if you want to save more time, roast your peppers early in the day or the day before. Just be sure to bring them to room temperature before adding to the warm pasta. I like to toss everything but the basil and Burrata while the pasta is warm so that it really absorbs the delicious vinaigrette. As you toss, the pasta will cool slightly and you can add the basil and then top with the Burrata and more salt and pepper. The Burrata will start to melt slightly and create even more creaminess! I promise this pasta will melt in your mouth!

Thanks so much for reading! Let me know if you’re planning to try this! Happy Sunday!
