In the Kitchen: Caprese Style Pasta Salad

Last week I created a Pinterest inspired menu which included a Seashell with basil, tomato and garlic pasta salad that was more complicated than I had desire for on Sunday so I came up with this simple salad of my own.  Everyone (including our company) thought it turned out really well, so I wanted to share it with you.  Enjoy this garden fresh salad.  :)

Directions:
Cook pasta as directed, drain, rinse and cool.  Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine oil, vinegar, salt and pepper.  Combine the pasta, tomatoes, basil, mozzarella and dressing in a medium bowl so that the dressing is well incorporated.  For best flavor allow the salad to sit in the refrigerator for an hour before serving.
