Cold tahini pasta salad

Salad 15 Mins Prep · 40 Mins Cook


  1. Preheat the oven to 180°C, gas mark 4. Halve the spring onions, carrots, courgettes and cherry tomatoes and separate the cauliflower florets. Place all the vegetables on a large baking tray and add 1 tbsp of the olive oil and season with salt and pepper. Roast for 30-40 minutes, or until tender and slightly caramelised. Place in the fridge until cool.
  2. Cook the rigatoni according to the package instructions. Drain and toss with 2 tbsp olive oil. Refrigerate until cool.
  3. To make the dressing, combine the tahini, 1 tbsp olive oil, garlic, lemon juice, salt and pepper in a food processor. While the motor is running, drizzle the cold water into the feed tube until you have a creamy but still loose consistency.
  4. Toss all the ingredients together and place on a serving dish.
  5. Sprinkle with the sesame seeds and micro greens.
