Coriander Pasta Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Mix together the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and chopped coriander, but don't season until just before serving

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook pasta according to the packet directions. Drain and allow to cool.
• When the pasta has cooled, place into a large bowl and add the sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, spring onions, capsicum and pine nuts. Mix well to combine.
• To make the dressing, place the extra pine nuts, parmesan, garlic and pepper to taste into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until it forms a paste.
• Add the coriander to the food processor and blend until all the ingredients form a pesto.
• Add the mayonnaise to the food processor and blend until combined, forming a creamy, pale green dressing (try to avoid blending the mayonnaise for too long as it may cause it to separate).
• Add the dressing to the pasta salad (you may not need all of it as it does make a fair bit, adjust as necessary to suit your tastes) and mix thoroughly.

Steps:

• Combine the chilli, ginger and its juice, lime zest and juice, and olive oil in a large bowl. Use a vegetable peeler to peel the cucumber into ribbons, discarding the central seedy part. Toss through the chilli dressing along with the salad leaves, coriander and mint. Serve immediately.

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large pot of rapidly boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well.
• In a large pan, heat the oil. Add the leek and bell pepper and stir-fry over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add spinach and mushrooms and toss together for about 1 minute, or until spinach just begins to wilt. Set aside.
• Make the dressing: mix garlic, cumin, coriander, and vinegar together in a bowl. Gardually whisk in the olive oil.
• In a salad bowl, toss the pasta, vegetables, beans, chives, and black pepper. Add the dressing and toss. Sprinkle sunflower seeds over the top and serve.

Steps:

• Put all ingredients in blender.
• Whizz until smooth.
• If dry, add more olive oil.
