My friend, Mrs.Chitra Laxman, made this salad for our pot luck lunch and it was 'sold-out'!
And as usual, she was very embarassed to tell me the recipe, saying instead, 'it is just a mix of everything continental, no particular recipe'.
I share here her recipe of Pasta salad.
I have not given any measurements for the codiments, add them in by the teaspoon and taste as you go along.
Ingredients:
Pasta - 2 cups, boiled and cooled
Onion - 1 large, chopped fine
Tomato - 2, chopped fine
Capsicum / bell pepper - 1, chopped fine
Olives - handful, chopped
Baby tomato - 200 gms, halved
Olive oil - 4 tbsp
Jalapenos - 2 tbsp (optional)
Below mentioned ingredients were mixed without any particular ratio!
Salt (very less as the dressing is salty)
Pepper
Chilly flakes
Dried basil
Dried thyme
Dried Oregano
Store bought Italian dressing
Method:
Mix together the cut vegetables and add in the pasta.
Now add the condiments and go by your taste buds till you hit the spot!
