Pasta Salad

  1. Cook pasta in a large pot of boiling water until tender. Drain. Rinse under cold water. Cool.
  2. Cook eggs in a saucepan of boiling water for 6 minutes for medium softness. Remove with a slotted spoon and cool in cold water. Peel. Cut in half.
  3. Place pasta in a large bowl with remaining ingredients except eggs. Add half of the dressing and stir until combined. Arrange in a serving bowl with eggs nestled in amongst salad. Sprinkle with chilli if using. Drizzle with remaining dressing.

Tips

Use Solanato or Perino tomatoes available from supermarkets

We used chipotle hot sauce which was not spicy but you can use any of your favourite or even a Mexican salsa. For added spice, add a fresh finely chopped jalapeno to salad.

Salad can be made up the day ahead without the dressing, avocado or eggs. Stir through a good drizzle of olive oil to keep pasta separated. Cover and refrigerate salad then add dressing, avocado and eggs when ready to serve.
