This Tuscan-inspired pasta salad is light and bright. It's filled with a mix of both juicy fresh tomatoes and chewy sun-dried tomatoes, mild black olives, creamy fresh mozzarella, and peppery arugula and tossed in a simple garlicky red wine vinaigrette. It can work alongside whatever you happen to be serving this summer, and is as fresh as the season itself.

The light vinaigrette means the salad can handle a whole slew of flavorful ingredients. The concentrated sweetness of sun-dried tomatoes contrasts fresh tomatoes' juicy bite. Bite-sized balls of creamy mozzarella add substance, while a few big handfuls of arugula bring the freshness up one more level and lend a peppery kick. I love how twirly cavatappi pasta catches these things, but other short shapes like fusilli or gemelli also work well.
