Vanessa's special salad

Wednesday 29 April 2009


This salad is a meal on its own and works pretty well on summer days.

1 bag of salad (or lettuce, chopped up)
350g of greek yogurt (1/2 pot)
a handful of fusilli pasta
4 cloves
salt
a drizzle of oil (to cook the pasta)
a handful of raisins
1 apple, chopped in cubes (1cm each)
a handful of grapes
a handful of croutons
2 tbspoons of sugar
6 cherry tomatoes, halved
grated parmesan

In a hob, add the pasta, the cloves, the salt and the oil. Add the water and cook it as instructed. Drain it, remove the cloves and wash it in cold water (the pasta needs to be cold for the salad).
In a small bowl, mix the greek yogurt with the sugar. If you want it to be more juicy than thick, you can add a bit of water (2-4 tbspoons, depending on how liquid you want it). Try it to make sure it is a bit sweet.
In a big salad bowl, add the lettuce, the raisins, the apple, grapes, tomatoes and the pasta. Mix it up and add the yogurt sauce, the croutons and grated parmesan (as much as you like) on top of it all.
