Equipment
- 4 Mason jars
Ingredients
- 140 g Farfalle pasta
- 4 portion Honey Mustard salad dressing
- 60 g Chickpeas canned; drained weight
- 16 Cherry tomatoes quartered
- 20 Olives chopped
- 100 g Rocket (arugula)
- 125 g Mozzarella drained weight
- 0.5 Cucumber chopped
- 8 Sun-dried tomatoes chopped
Instructions
- Cook 140 g Farfalle pasta according to the packet instructions. While it is cooking, prep the other ingredients. Once the pasta is cooked, drain and rinse under cold water.
- Divide 4 portion Honey Mustard salad dressing between 4 jars. Add a quarter of the cooked pasta to each jar.
- Add layers of 60 g Chickpeas, 16 Cherry tomatoes, 0.5 Cucumber, 20 Olives and 100 g Rocket (arugula).
- Add 8 Sun-dried tomatoes and 125 g Mozzarella to the jars. Screw on a lid and store...
- ...or pour out onto a plate and enjoy.
Notes
- When it comes to layering, start with the dressing at the bottom of the jar. This prevents the other ingredients from getting soggy.
- Finish with the greens last, so they are furthest away from the dressing.
- Top with some nuts and seeds for added crunch.
- Ensure all ingredients are cooled before assembling the jars to prevent condensation and maintain the desired texture and freshness of the salad.
