Pasta salad has many different faces, but is universally appreciated as a hassle-free and tasty meal. We focused on function for this recipe whist not compromising on taste, so consider this a fantastic weeknight dinner (that happily works as lunches the next day). Simply cook your pasta, make the dressing in the Thermomix, and add your toppings and you're set. A pro-tip for those who have a few extra seconds to spare: whilst you're blending your ingredients for the dressing, slowly stream in the olive oil for a thicker and more creamy dressing.
