This is one of my favs!

It's a ridiculously delicious take on a caprese salad and requires barely any cooking. I added left over chicken we had, but you can add any sort of other meat or just go vego.

The macros don’t include the chicken I added, so they’ll be a bit higher if you add meat. Good for protein though.

Ingredients:

  • 2 x 200g punnet cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1x tub cherry bocconcini, halved
  • 500g pack of large spiral pasta
  • Fresh basil, roughly chopped (use as much as desired)
  • 3 x cups rocket & spinach
  • 45g pine nuts, toasted
  • Choice of meat (optional)

Dressing:

  • 2 tbsp dijon mustard
  • 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tsp rice wine vinegar 
  • 1.5 tsp honey or raw sugar

Method:

  1. Cook pasta as per packet instructions
  2. Place rocket and spinach in serving bowl
  3. Once pasta has cooled, add to bowl
  4. If using, add choice of meat (optional)
  5. Add tomatoes & bocconcini
  6. Sprinkle over pine nuts & basil
  7. Drizzle over dressing
