Make Salad While The Sun Shines

So, despite the fact that it's been exceedingly soggy this week (hence the new wellies), it's still summer, so I'm having salad for dinner.

Plus, the sun came out today :)

I got this recipe from Tesco Real Foods, but of course being me, I had to document the whole process! So, if you're stuck for a light snack today, or a side dish with dinner, may I recommend the Greek pasta salad?

All you need are baby tomatoes...

Half a cucumber, cut into quarters...

Red onion (sparingly!)

Fresh basil (mmm, nothing nicer!)

(And don't forget to save the rest of the fresh basil in water - it will last for almost two weeks!)

Just bung all this into a bowl while you're chopping everything else...


...like the feta cheese...

...which you will drizzle with olive oil and white balsamic vinegar, and sprinkle with freshly ground pepper, salt, oregano, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.

Then some twirly noodles (fusilli is the fancy name, but you can call them curliqueues or spirals or whatever you like)...

...and toss it all together and put it in a beautiful blue ceramic bowl that your friends brought you from Cyprus! :) (Thanks Santamas family!)

I had to taste it to make sure it's okay. Whew - it's excellent! Try some yourself tonight!
