Instructions

1. First, let the salted water for the pasta get hot.
2. While the water is getting hot, wash the tomatoes and cut in halves or quarters. Then drain the sun-dried tomatoes and cut them into pieces. Alternatively, there are also pre-cut pickled tomatoes. It doesn`t matter if there is a little bit of oil left on the tomatoes. Roughly dice the feta and then finely chop the garlic cloves.
3. In between, cook the noodles al dente according to the instructions on the packet.
4. Mix the garlic, pesto, honey, spices, herbs, balsamic vinegar and oil well in a small container. You can now add additional spices, tomato paste, cream or sour cream to taste. The mixture can be a bit spicy and / or sour, especially if the salad is being prepared a little before serving.
5. Spread the tomatoes and feta over the pasta. Mix briefly and roughly, then spread the dressing on top and mix thoroughly.
6. Let the salad soak in the fridge until just before serving. Before serving, season to taste briefly and add seasoning if necessary. Spread as much washed rocket as you like on the salad and spread some parmesan shavings on top to taste. Mix briefly once and the salad is ready to serve.
7. I prefer to make the salad in the morning and serve it in the evening.
8. It`s important that the lettuce in the bowl isn`t too moist so it doesn`t get mushy. If you have any concerns, it is best to add the parmesan to the salad a little earlier.
9. I like to use the salad to process leftovers from the refrigerator. For example, some spring onions go well in the salad. The same goes for cream or sour cream.
10. Some roasted pine nuts or some fresh chives also go very well.
