Pasta Salad

This is our take on a family favourite. This salad showed up at pretty much every family bbq or get together. It was traditionally made using wheat pasta with fresh cream in the dressing, we've tweaked it and made it a little healthier. We know you're going to love it!

Note: We used Buon Appetito gluten-free spirals. We think a textured pasta works best to hold onto the vegetables.

Tip: Use whatever vegetables, herbs and flavourings you like in this one to make it your own.

Hint: This is a side dish serving but is easily doubled to have as a main.

Ingredients

60 grams of gluten free pasta

1/4 small red capsicum, diced (25g)

1/2 cob of corn with kernels removed (40g) alternatively use tinned or frozen

1/4 teaspoon of cold pressed coconut oil or butter

1 long green shallot/scallion, sliced

Dressing

1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon unsweetened coconut yoghurt

2 teaspoons of whole egg mayonnaise* or Vegan mayonnaise

1/2 teaspoon of fresh lemon juice

1/8 teaspoon of dried garlic powder

1 pinch each of sea salt and cracked black pepper

Method

Cook the pasta according to the directions, drain and rinse under cold water then set aside.

Meanwhile heat the oil or butter in a small pan to medium and cook the corn and capsicum for 2-3 minutes. If using tinned or frozen you can skip this step.

Mix all of the dressing ingredients together in a small bowl and set aside.

When pasta has cooled mix with the vegetables then stir in the dressing.

Salad can be made ahead and kept in the fridge.

*We love to make our own mayonnaise but if you are using store bought choose organic whole egg with no added sugar. The macros are worked on our recipe and you can find it in the Dressings and Sauces section
