Pasta salad for Coronation Chicken

NOTES
Orzo may look like large rice but it is an underrated small pasta that works well when mixed with a light fresh salad. We used celery instead of cucumber as it holds it shape for longer.

Ingredients:

100g Orzo pasta
100g Edamame Beans or Peas
8 Cherry Tomatoes
½ Long Sweet Red Pepper
10 Black stoned Olives
3 Sticks of Celery
3 tablespoons Light Olive oil
Generous squeeze fresh Lemon juice
½ teaspoon Tiptree Wholegrain Mustard

Method

Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet, they do vary; drain and rinse in cold water, drain and allow to cool on a plate (if it is left in a strainer pasta sticks together as I found out!)
Cook beans for 2 or 3 minutes in boiling water, rinse in cold water, drain and set aside to cool
Cut tomatoes and olives in half
Slice celery and red pepper
Put pasta, beans, tomatoes, peppers, olives and celery in serving dish
Mix olive oil, lemon juice and mustard and drizzle over pasta, then mix into salad
