Vinaigrette:

1/2 cup sun-dried tomatoes

1/4 cup fresh-squeezed orange juice (about 1 medium orange) 

3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil 

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar 

1/2 teaspoon salt 

1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper 

Assembly:

Salt

One 8-ounce package gluten-free ancient grain fusilli pasta, such as TruRoots 

3 cups chopped baby arugula

1/2 cup packed fresh basil leaves, chopped

7 ounces fresh mozzarella, cut into 1/3-inch dice 

Directions

  1. For the vinaigrette: Place the sun-dried tomatoes in a food processor and pulse to chop. Add the orange juice, olive oil, vinegar, salt and pepper. Process to a slightly chunky, relatively thick puree.
  2. To assemble: In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse in cold water.
  3. In a large bowl, toss the cooked pasta together with the arugula, olives, basil, mozzarella and the vinaigrette. Serve.

This has been my "Go-To" pasta for years! I make extra vinaigrette to use for grilled veggies and/or grilled chicken another night. I might try it with grilled shrimp too! The 50/50 Tropicana OJ works just fine for me. I also use sun dried tomatoes packed in oil, then use 1 Tbl of the sun dried oil and 1 Tbl of olive oil and that's it for the oil instead of 3 Tbl of regular olive oil. I'm making it yet again for my Mom's bday lunch tomorrow'. Thank you Giada!
