Reader recipe: prawn pasta salad

Pam Stewart from Edinburgh entered our competition for an original spring pasta dish. We loved her Mediterranean-influenced salad. ‘I love this as it’s quick and easy to make and is healthy but tasty. It can be served without prawns as a side salad, or even served as a hot dish. I enjoy it with crusty bread and a glass of white wine.’
