Ensalada de Minestrone

This vibrant minestrone salad is a fresh, seasonal reimagining of the classic Italian soup, transformed into a substantial vegan main. Packed with tender baby potatoes, crunchy green beans, and delicate asparagus, it offers a wonderful variety of textures. The addition of creamy cannellini beans and roasted peppers makes this a satisfying dish that celebrates the bright, herbaceous flavours of a high-quality pesto dressing.

As a versatile plant-based option, this pasta salad is perfect for alfresco dining, summer garden parties, or as a nutritious meal-prep solution for the week ahead. Using the blanching technique for the green vegetables ensures they retain their vivid colour and snap, providing a beautiful contrast to the soft pasta. For the best results, allow the salad to sit for an hour before serving so the flavours can fully meld together.

Ingredients for Minestrone Salad

  • 350g fingerling or baby red potatoes

  • 230g green beans, cut in half

  • 450g asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces

  • 450g gemelli or tubetti (or any short pasta you choose)

  • 120ml pesto

  • one 15 1/60g can cannellini beans (drained and rinsed)

  • one 170g jar roasted peppers, sliced into strips

  • salt and pepper to taste

  1. Place 350g fingerling or baby red potatoes in a medium saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring to a boil and cook until the potatoes are tender when pierced with a fork, about 10 minutes. Spread them out on a baking sheet to cool, then slice the potatoes into 1/2-inch coins.

  2. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add 1 teaspoon salt. Prepare a bowl of ice water. Add 230g green beans, cut in half, and 450g asparagus, trimmed and cut into 1-inch pieces so they're about the size of the pasta you're using, and blanch the vegetables just until they're bright green, 1 to 2 minutes. Scoop the vegetables out of the hot water with a spider or a strainer, rinse them with cold water, and submerge them in the ice water until completely cool, then drain, pat dry, and set aside.

  3. Add 450g gemelli or tubetti (or any short pasta you choose) to the boiling water and cook until al dente. Drain the pasta and put it in a large bowl to cool a bit.

  4. Toss in the potatoes, asparagus, green beans, 120ml pesto, one 15 1/60g can cannellini beans (drained and rinsed), one 170g jar roasted peppers, sliced into strips, and salt and pepper to taste. If preparing ahead of time, combine all of the ingredients 1 to 2 hours before serving.
