Angel Hair Pasta Salad

The Build

Step 1 In a large mixing bowl, stir the onion, vinegar, and sugar together. Season with salt and pepper, and set aside.

Step 2 Place the vegetables in a colander in the sink, season with salt and toss. Let them sweat for about 10 minutes.

Pat dry with a clean towel.

Step 3 Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta until al dente according to package instructions. Drain, then rinse under the cold tap and drain well.

Step 4 Stir the mayonnaise into the onion and vinegar. Add the pasta, vegetables and herbs, and toss to combine. (This salad is easiest to mix with your hands.) Taste and season as needed with salt and pepper.

Step 5 Serve at room temperature or cold, straight from the refrigerator.
