Who said salads have to be boring? This Simple 5 Bean Pasta Salad is proof that fresh, colourful ingredients can pack just as much personality as a steaming bowl of pasta. With Napolina Fusilli at its heart, tossed through crunchy veg, sweetcorn, and a zingy homemade dressing, it’s light, lively, and full of Italian flair. Finished with creamy mozzarella pearls, it’s the kind of dish that makes you feel virtuous without ever skimping on flavour. Quick to make, zingy and delicious, this is salad with a twist.
