Okay team, it’s that time of the week again. A few of you have asked for some non-veggie options and so this week we have a fish option but fear not veggie/vegans amongst us as the salmon can easily be omitted, or swapped for something like chunky avocado, egg or cheese, or tofu. It’s very versatile.

Heat a good drizzle of oil in a large frying pan over medium heat and add the onion, peppers, courgette and a pinch of salt for 10 minutes until soft.
Once the veggies are soft, stir through the pasta and cherry tomatoes. Transfer to a bowl, allow cool for 20 minutes. Stir through the spinach.
To make the dressing whisk the ingredients together in a small bowl. Pour over the pasta salad when cool and divide between 3 lunch boxes.
