I’m made different versions of this salad over time – it’s super easy as most of the ingredients are pantry staples and you can add in any fresh ingredients on hand. In lockdown, I find myself making different versions of this often to feed the family. I have to young men at home and they can eat pasta like there’s no tomorrow. Enjoy!

In this recipe I used the sundried tomatoes that come in oil in the dressing. I find that they are much more pliable and easy on the processor blades when they are soft.
