  1. This recipe was incredible and was a huge hit at the BBQ - everyone was fighting over the leftovers! Very tasty - highly recommended.
     
  2. This is a taste sensation! We had a few friends around for a barbecue last night and I made this pasta salad, it was extremely popular. I gave the recipe out to a couple of my girlfriends and they were almost shocked that Id made the 'pesto' myself! cheeky eh! Great garlic flavour too, A good grinding of black ground pepper was the only extra addition, thanks for sharing.
     
  3. What a nice change for a pasta salad. I used a stick blender and got great creamy results for my dressing. I substituted cilantro for the basil, lovely flavor profile.
     
  4. Made this last night....excellent! I would suggest you purée the garlic with oil and water...then add the s/p and vegies....my blender left me with large chunks of garlic. I also suggest small garlic cloves unless you love garlic..had a bit leftover and squeezed lemon on it with more salt....a keeper!! Thanks for sharing...
     
  5. This was just ok for us. It needed something, but I don't know what. I'm gonna try it again tho. :-)
