URGENT! Is there any way I can salvage this pasta salad?

[MamaG]

have made this but have left my lovely delicious vine cherry toms whole, ditto olives

I didn't mush the garlic up, i just finely chopped it and the resulting (two enormous bowlfuls for a party TOMORROW) is bitter

Please help, before I cry.

I havent' added the herbs yet. Ws considering washing it all under cold tap and trying to wash as much bloody garlic away as possible, then redoing the dressing

Did you cook the garlic first?

It's urgent!!!!

nursi it was chucked, skins on, into the pasta as it bioled

I was but fucking jamie oliver told me to

I cant work out why it's bitter,unless the garlic wasnt properly cooked. Was the white wine vinegar ok? (Taste it)
Wash it off.
Fry off or roast some garlic and then either chop or mush.

The comments suggest that perhaps the recipe uses too much wine vinegar.
I'd go sparingly, and add to taste.

Hmmmm. Jamie is usually right (pompous git) so maybe you should chop everything as he suggested and see if that helps?

You will get more flavour through the salad from the tomatoes if chopped, plus it will stop the vinegar from being too vinerary as it combines with the tomato juices.

YY chop the tomatoes, and add a teeny bit of sugar.

(btw - did you get the charger ok?)

It'll be fine,leave it be.
(Well as fine as pasta salad will ever be...)

Pasta salad is the food of the Gods. But olives... they go to the other department.

And now I really wont to know what the end product tastes like, because it looks and sounds lovely, ingredient wise.

How many people coming?

I've made that recipe, exactly as said, with chopped up toms, and it was very yummy. Maybe it does just need teh tomato juices mingling as another poster said?

50 people coming

the pasta salad is YUMMY now tom juices have mixed and the herbs have been added (and of course it was washed )

Have iced the chocolate buns, with a lovely choc ganache topped witha malteser [style icon]

Good luck!

No eating it all yourself before they get there...

Excellent.
Hope you have a lovely day.

Because it looked so nice, I decided to make that salad for todays lunch. I am also making a lasagne.
I have just chopped up the olives and inadvertently added them to my meat sauce.
Aagh.
Not that I mind, but I now have to go and get more olives for the salad!
