Filling pasta salad with roasted aubergine, chickpeas, feta and sun-dried tomatoes.
This pasta salad is a real flavour bomb – packed with roasted aubergine, sweet fresh tomatoes, tender chickpeas and the best sun-dried tomatoes in oil. A satisfying, protein-rich salad that works both as a meal in itself and as a side for anything from the barbecue to oven-baked dishes.
The flavour gets its depth from garlic, the oil from the sun-dried tomatoes and plenty of fresh herbs – and it is all rounded off with crumbled feta, which adds a creamy, lightly salty finish.
It is a salad with plenty of body and texture – and one of those you keep coming back to. It is served cold, can be made ahead and kept in the fridge – and it tastes just as good the day after. A new favourite in our house.
