Cold Pasta Salad
What you need
- pasta
- 1 tomato
- half a cucumber
- olive oil
- 1 lemon
Salt, pepper, water and oil don’t count. Mom always had those.
What you do
Cook the pasta, rinse it cold, and drain well. Toss with diced tomato and cucumber, oil, lemon juice and plenty of salt. Chill an hour.
How it feels to make
Rinsing hot pasta under cold water feels like a crime and it's necessary here.
Mom wrote on the back
Dress it while it's cold, then again before it goes out. It drinks the first lot.
