March 13, 2025

Ingredients:

Procedure:

1. Cook the fusilli:

Bring a pot of lightly salted water to the boil.

Add the low carb fusilli and cook according to the instructions on the package, usually about 18 minutes.

Drain them well and set them aside.

2. Prepare the fresh ingredients:

While the pasta is cooking, wash the cherry tomatoes under running water and dry them with a cloth.

Cut the cherry tomatoes in half or quarters, depending on their size and your preference.

Pit and slice the black olives.

Cut the feta into cubes of about 1 cm.

Wash the basil leaves and dry them gently. You can leave them whole or cut them into strips.

3. Assemble the salad:

In a large bowl, pour the drained fusilli.

Add the chopped cherry tomatoes, sliced black olives and feta cubes.

Add the fresh basil leaves.

4. Season:

Pour the extra virgin olive oil over the fusilli and the other ingredients.

Add a pinch of salt and black pepper to taste.

Gently mix everything together with a large spoon, being careful not to break up the feta cubes too much.

5. Serve:

Transfer the fusilli salad to a serving dish or serve directly from the bowl.

You can add a few fresh basil leaves as a garnish for a finishing touch.

6. Enjoy your creation:

Serve immediately or, if you prefer, let it rest in the refrigerator for half an hour to let the flavors blend better.
