  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook rotini at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and transfer to a large bowl. Add 2 tablespoons olive oil, toss, and set aside.
  • Heat remaining olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Add bell pepper, carrot, onion, broccoli, cauliflower, and seasoned salt. Cook, stirring, until broccoli turns a deep bright green and onion is beginning to turn translucent, about 3 minutes.
  • Toss vegetables with pasta and refrigerate salad for 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and cool.
  • Remove cooled salad from refrigerator and toss with mayonnaise and balsamic vinegar. Season with more seasoned salt if needed. Garnish with fresh basil.
