Grape Orange And Blue Cheese Pasta Salad Recipe
Ingredients
| 250 g/8 oz dried pasta shapes | ||
| Olive oil and lemon juice to taste | ||
| Oranges | 2 Large | |
| 500 g/1 lb white grapes | ||
| 185 g/6 oz black olives, halved and stoned | ||
| 125 g/4 oz Danish Blue cheese, crumbled | ||
| 450 ml/3/4 pint mayonnaise | ||
| Lemon juice | 3 Tablespoon | |
Directions
Cook the pasta until just tender in a large pan in masses of boiling salted water; drain, and toss in a generous amount of olive oil and lemon juice.
Peel the oranges with a sharp knife so that there is no white pith left.
Make segments with no membrane by cutting to the centre of the oranges with a very sharp knife just inside the walls of each segment.
Mix the grapes, olives, orange segments and blue cheese into the pasta.
Flavour the mayonnaise quite highly with lemon juice, and squeeze in garlic.
Mix with the pasta combination, trying not to break the pieces.
Chill for several hours to allow the flavours to blend, but do not serve directly from the refrigerator.
