Pasta salad with pesto, tomatoes and feta

An easy pasta salad with homemade green pesto, mixed baby salad leaves, cherry tomatoes and feta. It goes with all kinds of meat, is ideal for summer barbecues, and also holds its own as a main-course salad.
I top the pasta salad with unsalted pistachios, – but croutons, roasted chickpeas or other nuts work just as well.
