Had been wanting to try this for ages and when I finally did was very disappointed. Tasted very bland and was colourless, even though I added some fresh cherry tomatoes. -
This is a nice change for a pasta salad. I've never had bacon in one before and it is a really nice addition! I did add a little olive oil to the mix and used a cup of yellow cherry tomatoes (halved) in addition to the sun-dried. Thanks for the post!
RECIPE SUBMITTED BY
I live in a rural area 30 minutes from the City of Adelaide. I have 3 children and spend an inordinate amount of time chasing around after them! I enjoy cooking and reading about all kinds of food (but perhaps not vegan - never really did get the hang of that), although driving the kids here and there cramps up my cooking time and motivation some days.
I love cookbooks and have recently started to collect very old cookbooks, mostly from the 19th century. I love all books actually and, if I could get away with it, I would spend half the day with my nose in a book.
I also adore where we live, which is in the Adelaide hills. We live on top of a hill with gorgeous views out over the vineyards and across valleys. It is nice to be so close to the vines because I also have a fondness for sauvignon blanc, a lot of which is grown here!
