It was gorgeous!! The salad cream lightly coated the pasta and gave a light onion bite of flavour. Teamed with the ingredients my guests were really impressed - plus it looked colourful and tempting to eat.
Unfortunately I had to take some photos with my phone as my husband was away for the weekend and had taken the camera with him - and I can't find the lead to transfer the photos to my blog :(

Meanwhile in a large bowl mix together the mozzarella,
tomatoes, rocket, basil, olives and red onion with

The recipe was quick and simple to make ... and everyone loved it !! My mother-in-law has asked for the recipe and even my daughter ate everything except the olives.
I shall definitely be using Heinz Salad Cream with Onion & Chives this summer, great for perking up a salad or oozing over bbq food.
Heinz Salad Cream with Onion & Chives will be available in all major supermarkets for a limited time only this spring
