Pesto & Balsamic Pasta Salad

Its been ages since my last post, i'll try not to neglect the blog anymore!  The past few days in Koh Lanta have been a bit overcast but the sun is peeking out today.  To welcome back the sunshine i've got a deliciously refreshing Pesto & Balsamic Pasta Salad:  Rotini tricolore, asparagus, chicken, cherry tomatoes, and lettuce tossed in a light homemade pesto served with a balsamic vinaigrette.

Nicoise Pasta Salad

New special... coming soon!! I've always loved salad nicoise.. to me, a salad nicoise is lettuce, boiled potatoes, steamed green beans, egg, tuna, capers, and a citrusy dressing.  It's not the traditional version but its super refreshing - filing, yet light on a hot day.  I decided to omit the potatoes and turn it into a wonderful pasta salad.  Lettuce, bowtie pasta, tuna, egg, capsicum, and capers with a drizzle of balsamic and cracked black pepper.. sooo delicious!  Keep your eyes peeled for Nicoise Pasta Salad special :)
