The Pasta
Cook the pasta al dente then drain. Rinse with cold water & toss with olive oil.
Assemble
Whisk the dressing ingredients together. Add pasta, olives, artichoke hearts, peppers, tomatoes, and dressing to a large bowl.
Toss gently to mix together. If possible, chill in the refrigerator before serving. Flavors will develop as you let it sit.
Tips
Artichoke Hearts: Avoid using the oil-stored artichoke hearts. I get the canned non-oil variety.
Pasta: For a gluten-free version, I use quinoa or brown rice pasta.
Alternate Version : Substitute olives and artichokes for chopped spinach, one more bell pepper, and finely chopped basil.
