I’m a foodie & my scrummy peri peri pasta salad is the ultimate lazy girl dinner – it’ll feed the family for days
THERE’S nothing worse than slaving over the cooker in the summer months, but a foodie has solved our woes with her lazy girl recipe.
Cooking whizz Hayleigh has whipped up an easy peri peri chicken pasta salad which is super quick to make and will feed you for days.
The kitchen queen boils up a batch of shell-shaped pasta and allows it to cool before popping in a large glass serving bowl.
With carbohydrate ticked off the list, it’s time to add a few healthy elements.
Hayleigh finely chops a raw red pepper and a raw red onion and adds them to the bowl.
For a bit more colour, she opens a tin of sweetcorn and empties into the mix.
Then she produces some juicy strips of roast chicken for a healthy dose of protein.
You could buy raw chicken to cook and cool at home or go to your local supermarket for a fresh rotisserie chicken.
Alternatively, pop to the deli aisle and pick up some pre-cut chicken breast for the ultimate lazy preparation.
To bring the recipe together and add a little zing, Hayleigh adds a hearty dollop of sauce made by mixing 80g of light mayonnaise and 50g Nando’s medium peri peri sauce.
Preparation complete, Hayleigh uses two tablespoons to incorporate all of her ingredients into a deliciously spicy pasta salad.
If you’re feeding a large family, the recipe will be the perfect dinner option after a long day out.
Alternatively, you can cover the bowl with cling film and pop in the fridge. That way, you can grab a bowl and help yourself whenever you’re feeling peckish.
The meal should last a couple of days in the fridge – but be sure to double check how long you can keep your chicken.
Hayleigh’s got an impressive following of 37,000 people on TikTok and hundreds claim they’ll be giving her pasta salad a go.
One user replied: “Making this for my tea.”
A second commented: “That looks so good, I’m going to try it.”
And a third said: “This looks unreal.”
