  Looks lovely but 742 cals is very very high for a salad.

  I put in half the amount of mozzarella and omitted the parmesan and it was lovely. Have it with a green side-salad and it's filling enough.

  This salad had good textures. If I make again, I will try feta cheese instead of the mozzarella for more flavour.

  Very rich, but OK if served with something fairly plain like chicken breasts.

  Fantastic pasta salad (lovin Orzo at the mo) served on boxing day as part of a buffet. Kids loved it. Did it again for NYEve. Stirred in loads of rocket, very tasty & very healthy.

  Will try it when we have a braai. Like the idea of using lots of rocket.maybe a bit of chopped chilli.
