A pasta salad is perfect for those really hot summer days and you know me, I wouldn't be writing about it if it wasn't really easy to make.
You can pretty much make a pasta salad with anything you have in the fridge or pantry. I opted for a pasta salad which I found on Nigella's website since I had all the ingredients in the house (Pasta, tomatoes, corn, cucumbers, oil, tuna and mayonnaise). Besides, cucumbers are so cheap these days I seem to be eating them with every meal!
Here is the link to the recipe.
I doubled the ingredients so that I had more than enough for dinner and lunch the next day.
However, I used less of the oil and mayonnaise than in the recipe. It was a pleasure to drizzle my olive oil from Crete over the pasta.
The salad turned out really well and I will definitely be making this, or a vegetarian version thereof, again this summer.
P.S. I have been playing with Adobe Ideas on my iPad - that's where I added the text to my photo's. Then I made the photo collage in Adobe Elements... I'm becoming a real graphics software junkie!!
