- Halve the tomatoes and quarter the lemon and mince the garlic cloves.
- Finely chop the herbs and set aside.

- In a small bowl, whisk the garlic, herbs, juice from the lemon, Dijon mustard, and olive oil until thoroughly combined. Add in red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to taste.
- Once thoroughly mixed, pour the dressing over the pasta salad mix and toss to coat.
