Bruschetta Pasta Salad

Fresh, juicy tomatoes, fragrant basil and a tangy balsamic dressing make this Bruschetta Pasta Salad a vibrant and satisfying dish that's bursting with Mediterranean flavours. By using wholewheat pasta, plenty of vegetables and just a small amount of heart-healthy olive oil, it delivers all the taste of a classic bruschetta while keeping fat, saturated fat, salt and sugar low. Perfect for summer lunches, picnics or barbecues.

Method

1. Cook pasta according to packet instructions. Drain and set aside to cool slightly.
2. Whisk together olive oil, balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, black pepper and mustard to make the dressing.
3. Combine the pasta and chopped tomatoes and mix with the dressing. Leave for 10 minutes for the pasta and tomatoes to absorb the flavours.
4. Add the basil and rocket, and sprinkle with the parmesan before serving.
