This vibrant farfalle salad is a refreshing take on a Mediterranean classic, combining the bright flavours of red and yellow peppers with a rich, savoury pesto. As a high-protein vegetarian dish, it relies on a generous helping of garden peas and authentic Parmesan cheese to provide a satisfying and nutritious base. The addition of briny black olives and crisp red onion adds a wonderful depth of flavour and a satisfying crunch to every bite.
Ideal for meal prep or a quick midweek dinner, this versatile pasta salad keeps beautifully in the fridge. It is a brilliant option for healthy packed lunches or as a colourful side dish for a summer barbecue. For the best result, ensure you use a high-quality shop-bought pesto or a freshly made batch to keep the salad tasting light and fragrant.
