Chilled Pasta Salad for Picnics

Some of Rosemary’s fondest memories were picnics in the bush with friends and family, especially the days spent at Yorkrakine Rock. She would prepare this salad ahead of time and pop it in the esky. By the time we ate it, it was always the prefect temperature and provided a great flavour contrast with barbeque meats.

  • 1 x tablespoon mayonnaise
