Orange and cashew nut pasta salad - great for a BBQ
Updated: Mar 5, 2021

Sometimes it's fun to put a few things together and see what turns up! I fancied something fresh and healthy for lunch and came up with Orange and cashew nut salad.
Â
It has a mild flavour that builds in your mouth, becoming more and more 'moreish' with each forkful!
Â
I can guarantee it would be a hit at any BBQ.
