Caprese Pasta Salad, Caprese Pasta Salad
Jump to Recipe Print Recipe

This caprese pasta salad recipe is one from a small selection of pasta salad recipes that appeared in the July 2018 Olive Magazine.  If you love traditional caprese salad and pasta, you'll definitely love this one too, with the addition of diced avocado...it really is delicious!

This pasta salad is very quick and easy to make, and is lovely and fresh and so full of flavour.   A perfect dish to enjoy for lunch or serve at a buffet, at a BBQ or to take on a picnic.

Tips

  • Make it an hour or so ahead of when you want to serve it, cover with cling film and set aside.   The fresh basil really infuses into the salad - yum!
  • The original recipes uses orecchiette pasta, however, I find this difficult to get in our local supermarket, so use conchiglie instead which works well.
  • This caprese pasta salad recipe is easily adapted if you’re cooking for less or more people.
