Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta in plenty of boiling, lightly salted water for 10-12 minutes until just tender, or cook according to pack instructions. At the same time, simmer the green beans in boiling water for 3-4 minutes, then drain them and cool them with cold, running water. Drain and rinse the pasta with cold water.
  2. In a large bowl, mix together the pasta, beans, lettuce, red onion, tomatoes and olives. Share between 4 bowls or plates, then arrange an equal amount of salami on top of each salad. Share the Parmesan cheese and basil leaves between them.
  3. To make the dressing, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, mustard and seasoning. Sprinkle over the salads and serve.
