As a pasta addict, I’ve been craving a cold pasta dish to stay cool in this abnormal hot British weather. I created this dish as a light lunch or dinner, keeping it as fresh as possible! It’s also pretty versatile, so add or takeaway whatever you have on hand in the fridge.

Steps

20 minutes

1

Cook the Pasta (al dente) and set aside to cool. Toss with a little oil to keep from sticking together!
2

Dice the vegetables & nectarines into small chunks.
3

Finely chop the chives, and tear the basil into small piece.
4

Crumble the feta cheese on top.
5

Mix all of the ingredients for the honey mustard in a jar or bowl. If using a jar, add all the ingredients and shake well!
6

Pour dressing (as much or as little as you want!) onto the salad & serve!
7

Mix the pasta with all of the vegetable, nectarine, herbs, and if you decide to put in Quorn chicken pieces or other proteins do so.
