| Peanut, ham and tomato pasta salad. |
This recipe marks the official start of summer! My mum used to make this as a side dish when I was growing up to accompany BBQs on a warm summer's day and to me, it was the best bit!
It's a simple mix of pasta, tomatoes, peanuts, spring onions, ham and salad cream but the combination is surprisingly satisfying and is always received extremely well by guests.
