Ingredients

• 250 g shell noodles or other small pasta shapes
• ½ tsp (2,5 ml) salt
• 3 tbsp (45 ml) sunflower oil
• 1 tsp (5 ml) prepared mustard
• 3 tbsp (45 ml) lemon juice
• 1 tsp (5 ml) sugar
• 1 green or red pepper, seeds removed and chopped
• ½ cucumber, chopped
• 2 tomatoes, chopped
• 1 green chilli, finely chopped (optional)
• 1 cup (250 ml) frozen whole kernel corn or peas, rinsed
• 3 tbsp (45 ml) chopped fresh parsley or coriander
• black pepper to taste

Method

Bring a large pot of water to the boil. Add pasta and salt. Cook until tender and drain well.

Meanwhile mix the oil, mustard, lemon juice and sugar.

Pour half of this dressing over the warm pasta and mix through. Allow to cool.

Mix remaining ingredients with the pasta and dressing and season with pepper.

Notes

When in season, an avocado is delicious in this salad.

You can add left-over chicken or tuna for a light meal.

This salad can be made with 2 cups cooked brown rice instead of pasta.
