One of my favorite Naked Chef recipes. I make this often. I just love the trip of boiling up the garlic cloves with the pasta, and then just squeezing them out of their skins and adding them mashed to the dressing.

SERVES 6 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

Directions

  1. 1
    Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil.
  2. 2
    Throw in the pasta and garlic and simmer for about 5 minutes or until al dente, and drain.
  3. 3
    Put the garlic to one side for the dressing.
  4. 4
    Put the pasta in a bowl.
  5. 5
    Chop the tomatoes, olives, chives, basil and cucumber into pieces about half the size of the pasta and add to the bowl.
  6. 6
    Squash the garlic cloves out of their skins and pound in a pestle and mortar.
  7. 7
    Add the vinegar, oil and seasoning.
  8. 8
    Drizzle this over the salad, adding a little more seasoning to taste.

    I made this pasta for a BBQ - it was so simple yet wonderfully refreshing to taste. A great dish to serve to the crowds.

    A great light and fresh tasting pasta salad. It's great to find one that doesn't contain mayo for a change. I did add an extra clove of fresh crushed garlic to the dressing as the boiled garlic didn't have much flavour left in it. I used chopped seeded tomato instead of the cherry tomatoes as it was all I had and added a little bit of chopped yellow capsicum too. I was serving a very fussy eater who loved it and came back for more the next day! A keeper recipe.

    This is a great salad I needed a salad I could make ahead so when company comes I don't have so much to do at the last minute. This salad exceeded my expectations! It is simple, elegant, tasty, quick, and can be made in advance. I served this salad cold and I added some fresh broccoli florets. I used grape tomatoes cut in half and left out the yellow tomatoes.
