Cold Pasta Salad

Pasta and cheese.... hmm.... a combination that is hard to resist, even when it is in form of letters, numbers and photos in recipe book. Especially when it took only 30 minutes to prepare, over an evening coffee session. Any other objection?


Ingredients:
  • 200gr Fusili Pasta
  • 2 Red Tomatoes
  • 150gr Broccoli
  • 100gr Cheddar, grated (Optional)
  • 250gr Smoke Chicken (I run out of stock, and replace it with chicken burger meat instead)
  • 3 tablespoon Extra Virgin Olive Oil
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice
  • 2 shallots, coarsely minced
  • 4 tablespoon Mayonnaise
Direction for dressing:
Mix Mayonnaise, Olive Oil and Shallots into mixing bowl, then stir. Keep it in cold in the fridge until ready to serve

Direction for pasta mix:
  1. Cook the Fusili until Al Dente, and dry
  2. Boil the broccoli
  3. The tomatoes should be unseeded, and the sliced to your taste. I like to cut it into square
  4. Smoke chicken (or in my case, chicken burger meat) should be cut into square
  5. Then store them all in the fridge until ready to serve
Direction for serving:
  1. I like to arrange the fusili as the base, broccoli circled above the fusili, and then the smoke chicken and tomatoes mixed in the middle
  2. Pour the dressing, and topped with grated cheese (Note: I forgot the cheese once, and it still taste good. Thus, I put the cheese as optional)
  3. Take your spoon and fork, taste it, and invite me for a dinner :D
