SUPER SIMPLE CAPRESE PASTA SALAD

Super Simple Caprese Pasta Salad image

Great summer salad, good for potlucks and picnics, size can be easily doubled or halved. Also adaptable to extra ingredients. I'm a purist but you could add garlic, olives, artichokes, sun dried tomatoes, chicken, anything you like. Salt heavily, it brings out the flavor of the mozzarella.
