This salad from Budget Bytes is pretty good and not hard, perfect for a picnic. It comes with a pretty interesting vinagrette salad. As you can see, it is a bit of a race to fit summer recipes! only 1 month left of summer.....(I consider summer till mid October).
INGREDIENTS:-400 grams of pasta.
-200 grams of cherry tomatoes.
-200 grams of feta cheese.
-100 grams of mozzarella cheese.
-100 grams of baby spinach.
-100 grams of rocket or other salad greens.
For the vinagrette:
-1/2 cup of olive oil.
-3 tablespoons of balsamic vinegar.
-2 tablespoons of mayonnaise. -2 tablespoons of parmesan cheese (optional).
-1/2 tsp of dijon mustard.
-1 clove garlic minced.
-1/2 tsp of dried basil.
-salt and pepper.
STEPS:
1. Well, what can i say, there are no steps in this recipe other than, boil the pasta and cool it off with lots of cold water, cut the cherry tomatoes in two and wash the salad and place all of the ingredients in a big bowl.
2. Make the vinagrette stirring really really well. I cut a little the oil of the original recipe, it was a bit too oily for my taste. Also I did not add the parmesan cheese and it was totally totally fine. Be generous with the pepper.
The star ingredient of this recipe are the nice cheeses and the vinagrette....I added a little chicken to make it a complete meal. Pretty good you all, pretty good.
