Garden Pasta Salad

Make sure all ingredients are at the same temperature before mixing them together. This is to ensure longer shelf life and avoid bacteria growth.


Serves 3   Prep Time 15 minutes  Cooking Time 20 minutes (pasta and broccoli)

200 grams shaped pasta (like penne or fusilli)
1 cup broccoli flowers
2 tomatoes, sliced in chunks
1 cup sliced cucumber
2/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tablespoon mustard
1 teaspoon dried basil
salt and pepper to taste

1  Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain, cool in room temperature, then refrigerate.

2  Boil water then throw in broccoli flowers. Wait for water to boil again. Then drain, cool in room temperature, and refrigerate together with the other vegetables.

3  While pasta is cooking, prepare salad dressing by mixing mayonnaise and mustard together in a bowl. Season with salt and pepper then add in dried basil. Toss in pasta and vegetables until well coated with the dressing. Keep in chiller until serving time.
