Garlicky Pasta Salad


This recipe is not for those who don't like garlic - there's a lot of it here. But at the same time, the salad is very refreshing. And colourful :)

Ingredients

150g orzo pasta
3 cloves garlic, crushed
1 red pepper
1 yellow pepper
1 green pepper
1/2 can sweetcorn
1/2 cucumber
2 Tbsp natural yoghurt
2 Tbsp mayonnaise
salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
  
1. Cook pasta according to instructions on the packaging. Leave to cool or rinse with cold water.
2. Finely dice the peppers. Rinse the sweetcorn. Peel and crush the garlic. Peel and dice the cucumber, and pat it with a kitchen towel to remove excess water.
3. Mix yoghurt and mayonnaise until smooth. 
4. Combine pasta and all vegetables in a large bowl. Add salt and pepper, and the yoghurt-mayo sauce. Mix well. Chill in a fridge for a few hours (or overnight) before serving.
 
* Feel free to add more garlic (or garlic granules) if you like or play with yoghurt-mayonnaise ratio. This may vary depending on the producer of a mayo, sometimes a slight change can make a difference.
