Karen's Sweet Chilli Pasta Salad
This is another recipe I always make for my Taste Events to show how versatile the marinade is as it makes amazing cold dishes as well as hot! There is so much flavour in this pasta salad, perfect for summertime barbecues to accompany your meat dishes. Alter the quantity of ingredients accordingly if you are not making for a large group
Serves: 20
Cooking & Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
- 500g cooked wholewheat pasta
- 500g mayo
- 250g sweet chilli sauce
- 2 tablespoons marinade
- 1 red onion chopped small
- 1 red pepper chopped small
- 1 yellow pepper chopped small
- 1 green pepper chopped small
- 100g sweetcorn
- 100g peas
- Salt & pepper
Method
RECIPE CHANGE
Heat the marinade in a very small container (egg cup or similar) in the microwave on full power for 1 minute, stirring halfway. At the end of the cooking time mix well then leave to cool down (don’t worry how the marinade looks at this stage)
Mix everything else together in a bowl then alter any of the ingredients to suit your taste … if you would like a spicier taste add more marinade. If you would like it a little more creamier, add more mayonnaise!
NOTES
This recipe is amazing with the residue of any cooked spicy chicken. If you have this available, simply add to the pasta in place of the marinade then taste & if you would like it spicier, add a little marinade too
Also, if making this in advance, add the mayo, marinade & sweet chilli sauce just before serving as the pasta will absorb these if kept in the fridge. For softer vegetables, prepare 24 hours in advance & keep in the fridge
You can use any cooked pasta too!
