Fruity Nutty Pasta Salad
"A delicious pasta salad that is a meal in itself, or a great accompaniment to cold chicken, turkey or ham. If I'm making this for a picnic or packed lunch, I add frozen sweetcorn kernels at the last minute. They keep the salad cool and fresh, and are thawed by the time we're ready to eat. It will keep well in the fridge as long as no-one knows it's there! Preparation time assumes you already have cold cooked pasta available."

This pasta salad was a big hit with the adults and kids alike at a summr party. It reminded me of a waldorf salad with pasta added. I did omit the sweetcorn and used light mayonnaise to make it figure freindly. Thanks for the great recipe!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I joined Zaar because I'm so bored with cooking! I live on the beautiful south coast of England, and I'm the mother of an adult son and daughter. Now I'm enjoying the freedom to develop my own interests in things like antique hunting, pottery, knitting and digital photography. After so many years of cooking for a family, I need to try new things. I've bought a slow cooker and I'm exploring farmers markets for locally produced organic foods. The family was vegetarian for years, but my daughter has recently been diagnosed with Crohn's disease and her diet has become so restricted we are reintroducing meat in order to maximise her nutritional intake. So I'm having to relearn meat cooking and I'm looking to Zaar for good recipes!
