Coriander Pasta Salad Recipes

TOMATO, CUCUMBER & CORIANDER SALAD

Steps:

• Mix together the tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and chopped coriander, but don't season until just before serving

CORIANDER PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to the boil and cook pasta according to the packet directions. Drain and allow to cool.
• When the pasta has cooled, place into a large bowl and add the sundried tomatoes, mushrooms, spring onions, capsicum and pine nuts. Mix well to combine.
• To make the dressing, place the extra pine nuts, parmesan, garlic and pepper to taste into the bowl of a food processor. Blend until it forms a paste.
• Add the coriander to the food processor and blend until all the ingredients form a pesto.
• Add the mayonnaise to the food processor and blend until combined, forming a creamy, pale green dressing (try to avoid blending the mayonnaise for too long as it may cause it to separate).
• Add the dressing to the pasta salad (you may not need all of it as it does make a fair bit, adjust as necessary to suit your tastes) and mix thoroughly.

GRILLED CORN SUMMER PASTA SALAD RECIPE BY TASTY

Steps:

• Microwave the corn on a microwave-safe plate on high for 7 minutes. Remove from the microwave, and grip the corn with a dish towel. Then cut off the bottom end with a serrated knife. Slide the corn out of the husk. It should come out fairly easily with none of the silky string mess.
• Brush the corn with olive oil, then place on a cast iron grill pan or outdoor grill over medium-high heat. Grill for 5-6 minutes on each side, until the kernels are slightly charred.
• Insert the narrow end of an ear of corn into the center hole of a bundt pan. Holding the corn steady with one hand, saw off the kernels with a serrated knife. The kernels will fall into the pan for easy collection.
• Make the cilantro-lime vinaigrette: Combine the cilantro, olive oil, lime juice, garlic, chili powder, honey, salt, and pepper in a food processor and blend until smooth.
• In a large bowl, add the pasta, corn, tomatoes, red onion, avocado, and vinaigrette, and mix until well-combined.
• Enjoy!

CREAMY PASTA SALAD WITH CELERY

GREEK PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the penne, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Set aside. Combine pasta, tomatoes, onion, green and red peppers, cucumber, olives, and feta cheese in a large bowl. Pour vinaigrette over the pasta and mix together. Cover and chill for 3 hours before serving.

PASTA AND BEAN SALAD WITH CUMIN AND CORIANDER DRESSING

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large pot of rapidly boiling salted water until al dente. Drain well.
• In a large pan, heat the oil. Add the leek and bell pepper and stir-fry over medium heat for 2-3 minutes. Add spinach and mushrooms and toss together for about 1 minute, or until spinach just begins to wilt. Set aside.
• Make the dressing: mix garlic, cumin, coriander, and vinegar together in a bowl. Gardually whisk in the olive oil.
• In a salad bowl, toss the pasta, vegetables, beans, chives, and black pepper. Add the dressing and toss. Sprinkle sunflower seeds over the top and serve.
