HELP! I need the ultimate pasta salad or rice salad recipe (for today)

[GenghisCanDoHisOwnWashing]

Veggie friend coming over for lunch today so would like to make some for then (not her main course, we're having homemade bread, salad, cold meats etc) but also for all the BBQs we'll be havng when summer FINALLY arrives

Thanks

I like this pasta recipe. It's not exactly pasta salad but you could certainly make it into one. It's got a lovely light sauce on it.

Thanks vikkii - I ended up doing a rice one from bbc good food which was fine but definitely not the ultimate rice salad! I'm bookmarking yours for next time
