70 g (½ cup) pitted olives (optional)

Method

Cook pasta in salted boiling water until al dente. Drain; rinse briefly under cold water. Drain well.
Whisk dressing ingredients. Toss pasta with veg, cheese, olives and dressing.
Stir through herbs. Chill or serve at room temperature.

Tip: Dress while pasta is just cool so it absorbs flavour. Keeps 2 days in the fridge — great lunchbox filler.
