Feel free to add some diced ham or leftover chicken if you want to bulk it up. Serves: 6

Ingredients:

1 can (410 g) Rhodes Garden Peas in Brine, drained

125 ml (½ cup) coarsely-torn basil

200 g baby tomatoes, halved or quartered

125 ml (½ cup) finely-chopped red onion

1 yellow pepper, cut into small dice

90 g cheddar cheese, cut into 1 cm squares

500 ml (2 cups) cooked and seasoned pasta shells

salt and pepper

125 ml (½ cup) mayonnaise

125 ml (½ cup) sour cream

15 ml finely chopped garlic

45 ml (3 tbsp.) finely chopped parsley

a little cold water

Method:

Place the Rhodes Garden Peas in a large mixing bowl and add the basil, tomatoes, onion, yellow pepper, cheese and pasta. Season to taste then toss well.
Whisk the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic and parsley together. Whisk in a few spoons of cold water to thin the dressing down to a runny consistency.
Pour it over the salad, toss well, transfer to a salad bowl then serve with a roast or braai.
