Ingredients

Printable 🖨 shopping 🛒 list & 👩‍🍳 method for this recipe

• 300g tortiglioni, boiled for 12 minutes, drained and cooled
• 300g tomatoes, roughly chopped
• 1 green pepper, roughly chopped
• 1 red pepper, roughly chopped
• 4-6 spring onions, finely chopped
• 1 bunch of flat-leaved parsley, finely chopped
• Garlic to taste, finely diced
• 300g strong cheese, such as mature Cheddar cheese, cubed
• 560ml natural yogurt
• 5 tablespoons Pakistani basar

Method

1. Place all but the last two ingredients in a large salad bowl and mix them well.
2. Put the yogurt in a jug and stir in the Pakistani basar (or other spice mix) until it is evenly distributed.
3. Pour over the salad and toss thoroughly.

Serving suggestions

Serve with on a bed of lettuce with some bread.

Variations

Use whatever spice mix you like but I think Pakistani basar goes well with cheese. However, you may need more or less than 5 tbsps, so mix it into the yogurt 1 tablespoon at a time, tasting as you go.

I used Gruyère cheese, but any hard cheese would be fine.
