Serves: 4 - 6
Ingredients
  • 250g dried pasta (I used fusilli)
  • ½ can sweetcorn (large size tins, or use a small can)
  • ⅓ cucumber diced
  • ½ red pepper diced
  • ½ carrot diced
  • ¼ red onion diced
  • salami diced (optional)
  • mayonnaise (to taste)
  • pepper
  • salt (if needed)
Method
  1. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet, add ½ tsp of salt and a little oil to the boiling water to season and separate the pasta while it cooks. After cooking, drain and rinse with cold water to stop the pasta clumping.
  2. Dice all the veggies and salami (if you are using this). If time permits, lightly fry the salami as it brings out a better flavour and texture, use in the recipe once cooled.
  3. Place all the ingredients in a large mixing bowl and add mayonnaise (I don't measure this and eyeball it, roughly about 8 tbsp though) and black pepper to taste, mix through and serve. Depending on how creamy you like the salad to be you can use less or more mayo, or substitute some of it for Greek yoghurt or salad cream. Serves 3 - 4, depending on portion size. Enjoy!
