Ingredients for Aussie Pasta Salad

  • 8 ounces pasta (your choice, such as rotini, penne, or farfalle)
  • Bacon
  • Canned Green Beans
  • Mushroom
  • Green Onions
  • 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes
  • Light Olive Oil

How to Make Aussie Pasta Salad

  1. In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup sour cream, 2 tablespoons olive oil, 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard, and 1 teaspoon steak seasoning until well combined.
  2. Cook your pasta according to package directions until al dente. Drain well and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside to cool slightly.
  3. In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta with 1 cup chopped cherry tomatoes, 1/2 cup chopped red onion, 1/2 cup chopped cucumber, 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese, and 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley.
  4. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and gently toss to coat evenly.
  5. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld before serving. Enjoy chilled!

Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor

Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
