GRILLED BROCcOLINI PASTA SALAD

I was craving pasta salad the other day and gathered what we had in the fridge to create one. It ended up turning out so good so I’m so excited to share it with you all too!

INGREDIENTS

GRILLED BROCCOLINI PASTA SALAD

Serves two

salad

2 cups pasta cooked and cooled

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/3 cup kalamata olives, diced

4 shallots, finely diced

1 bundle broccolini, grilled and diced

1/4 cup feta cheese

spray of extra virgin olive oil

dressing

3 tbsp juice from kalamata olives

1/2 lemon, juiced

2-3 tbsp Olive Garden salad dressing

DIRECTIONS

Boil water for pasta. Once water has boiled cook pasta to packages instructions. Once finished, strain and run cold water over to cool the pasta down.

While pasta is cooking heat a stainless steal pan over high heat. Add a spray of extra virgin olive oil to the pan and allow it to heat for a few moments. Add broccolini, flipping and cooking until it starts to get grill marks. You want the broccolini to be firm so only cook for about 5 minutes. Remove boccolini from the heat and once it’s cooled enough chop it into bite sized pieces.

While the pasta and broccolini cooks dice shallots, olives and cherry tomatoes. Add all to a large bowl and toss together.

Add dressing ingredients, toss and enjoy.
