Cold pasta salads are always my go to dishes for summer potlucks. They also make a great simple lunch or dinner when it's just too hot to cook. There's something about ramen that my kids just love - and I love how quick it is to cook! We had a potluck to go to so I pulled this together - all the kids loved it and it was super fast and easy to make.
Ingredients:
- 3 Packages Ramen Noodles
- 1 Carrot (one large or approximately 10 baby carrots, which is what we had)
- 1 Clove Garlic
- 1 Spring Onion
- 1/4 cup Mayo
- 4 tbsp Pesto
- Salt and Pepper to taste
Directions:
Prepare ramen noodles per package instructions but do NOT use the seasoning mix. Throw it away!
Drain and rinse noodles immediately in cold water after cooking. Place in a large bowl.
Chop carrot and spring onions into small pieces. I use a chopper to make this really easy. Add to noodles.
Mix mayo and pesto in a small bowl and add to noodles. Stir until well mixed.
Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve and enjoy!
