Notes:
To make dressing yourself, combine 1/2 cup olive oil or salad oil with 1/4 cup wine vinegar, 2 cloves minced garlic, 2 teaspoons crushed dried basil, 1 teaspoon crushed dried oregano, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper; cover and shake well to combine. Other ingredients can be prepped while the noodles are cooking; all done about the same time, then toss and put in the fridge. Super easy.
