I love Greek inspired food.
Back when I lived in Kent, I used to frequently go to an amazing Greek restaurant with my 3 of my best friends and we would all share a Meze (a selection of dishes), it is the best sharing meal ever, especially when accompanied by good friends and drinks, and often involved getting up on the tables afterwards dancing and having fun.
Lunch today wasn’t really prepared, I wanted pasta, but didn’t fancy the usual tomato based sauce. So decided on a yummy pasta salad.
INGREDIENTS
150g/5.5oz of fusilli pasta (can use gluten free)
1 cup (240ml) of chopped cucumber
1 cup (240ml) of chopped fresh tomatoes
½ red onion, thinly sliced
90g/3oz of feta cheese, crumbled (2 HEa's)
Dressing
1 tsp of olive oil (2 syns)
1 tbs of fresh chopped mint
pinch of salt
pinch of black pepper
1 tbs of maple syrup (2 syns)
2 tbs of fresh lemon juice
METHOD
Add pasta to a saucepan of boiling salted hot water and cook till al dente (10 mins)
Allow to cool
Add to a bowl the pasta, cucumber, tomato, red onion and feta cheese.
Whisk together in the ingredients for the dressing.
Pour over the salad and mix well to combine.
Divide among two bowls
Enjoyy
