I will be honest I was never a huge fan of pasta salads until I made my own homemade version. It's light and delicious while still having that delicious creaminess that a good pasta salad has
Ingredients
2.5 Cups of pasta of your choice
1/2 red capsicum diced
6 Cherry Tomatoes diced
1/2 Carrot Gratted
1/2 Cucumber Diced
100g Fetta cubed
1 cup spinach chopped
100g Beerenberg ranch dressing you can switch this for mayo if you prefer
Squeeze of lemon
Salt & pepper to taste
Directions
Cook your pasta as per the instructions on the packet, drain it & let it cool. I ran mine under cold water to speed up the process a bit. You don’t want it super hot when adding everything else in
Chop all your salad ingredients up, grate your carrot and chop your fetta
Add cooled pasta, salad ingredients, veggies, ranch, lemon, salt & pepper into a bowl and give it a good mix around to coat all the pasta & salad. You can add more dressing if you like too especially if you want it more creamy
Add some chicken, beans, boiled eggs or tuna whatever protein you like to make it more filling
