A no-fuss pasta salad which is great for hot summer days where minimum
cooking is required. In fact, you don't really need a recipe to make a
salad. Just look in your refrigerator to see what you may have on
hand. It will be more interesting to add a variety of different colours
and textures into the salad. Instead of whisking up your own dressing, just open a jar of store-bought pesto and add to your salad.
Ingredients:
150g Angel Hair Pasta
1 jar of Sundried Tomato Pesta (190g)
celery (cut into small chunks)
salad leaves
cherry tomatoes
cucumber (cut into small cubes)
button mushrooms (sliced)
carrot (cut into small cubes
salt & pepper
olive oil
- Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain.
- Combine everything in a big mixing bowl. Toss well.
- Drizzle some olive oil before serving.

Hi Veronica,
ReplyDeleteThis is one of our favourite too. This pesto is extremely handy to eat on my lazy-to-cook days. Like what you did, I cooked the pasta and just add and mix... Magic! Isn't it? - LOL!
