EASY PASTA SALAD



Perfect for those hot summer days we left behind us about a week ago here ;-)

Pasta of your choice
Cucumber
Leek or onion - you can boil the onions for a few minutes if you want them sweeter
Tomatoes
Bell pepper/chili pepper
Peas
Kidney beans/chick peas or whatever else you like
I usually add meat - pre-cooked chicken in small pieces or mortadella like in the pic
Olive oil
Lemon juice/white vinegar
garlic, crushed or finely chopped
Salt, pepper
Dried mint, if desired

Boil pasta, drain and cool. Prepare the other ingredients. Place everything in a bowl, add dressing and mix well. Let stand for a while for flavour to develop. This should last a few days in the fridge as long as you don't add lettuce or other vegetables that wilt easily.
