I loved the recipe swap of Our Chaotic Life, so here is a light pasta Salad my husband loves and kids don’t mind.
Before I start I have to say except for baking I don’t use exact measurements, with salads I just look at it if it is colourful and has enough of each color I’m fine. I’m approximate measures below.
| Ingredient: | ||
| ½ package | Rotini vegetable pasta | |
| ½ | A big red onion, thinly chopped | |
| ¼ Cup | Black pitted olives | |
| 1 Cup | Grape Tomato, cut in half | |
| ½ Cup | Green Pepper, chopped | |
| ¼ Cup | Cilantro, chopped | |
| 3 Tbsp | Olive oil | |
| 2 Tbsp | Lemon Juice | |
| To taste | Salt and Pepper | |
| A pinch | Of each dried oregano and dried thyme | |
Direction:
I cook the pasta as per package, and then mix all ingredients in the above order.
I’m using less red onion as I’m not a fan of raw onions you can add the whole onion, this is great for sides for BBQ, or a light lunch. You can add a cup of feta cheese and make a complete meal out of it.
You can make and keep it in fridge in air tight containers for almost a week .
Enjoy.
