    How to make Pasta Salad With Cheddar Cheese Cubes

    STEP 1

    Cook pasta as per bag instructions, season with salt.

    STEP 2

    Let it cool and then mix all salad ingredients in a salad bowl. Pour dressing over salad and toss to combine. You can serve it with fresh spring onions and oregano leaves on top.

    Servings

    This pasta salad makes about 4 portions.

    Store

    You can refrigerate this salad but best consumed immediately because Gluten-free pasta (if using) becomes too hard after a while.

    If you do store it, let it sit a bit until it reaches room temperature. It's just my personal preference, but feel free to store it as is the most convenient for you.
