Whether you’re looking for a really easy supper recipe that takes minutes to toss together, or want a side dish for a weekend barbecue, give this pasta salad recipe a go and you’ll not be let down on taste.

There’s a lovely Mediterranean feel to this pasta salad thanks to the inclusion of feta, roasted red peppers and black olives that combine to bring out a summery taste. While the oregano and basil also provide a fresh Med-like flavour too.

It’s really simple to throw together and requires relatively little cooking – just the pasta and onion. There’s enough in this recipe to serve four, but it will stretch even further as a side dish and is also really easy to double if you want to make a batch big enough for a week’s worth of lunches.
