Noodle Salad

This has become known as Lola’s famous noodles. So simple to make, it is the hit of many a barbeque/braai.


Ingredients:

300g Small noodles (pick your favourite, I normally use small shells)
5 Viennas
60g Cheddar Cheese
3 Eggs
Mayonnaise
Salt
Tbsp oil

Method:


Noodles: Bring water to the boil, ¾ full small pot with a tbsp oil and salt. Once boiling add pasta and stir. Once brought back to the boil cook for 8 – 10 minutes. Remove from heat, place in a colander and run through hot water. Leave to cool.
Eggs: Place eggs in a small pot with water to cover. Bring to the boil, once boiling leave for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and place in a bowl with cold water to cool. Once cool, peel and chop into small pieces.
Other: Whilst cooking eggs and pasta, cut viennas into bite size pieces (about 1 cm thick), cube cheese into squares about 1cm x 1cm.

Place all ingredients in a large bowl and add a pinch of salt. Then spoon mayonnaise over noodles while mixing until you get the desired consistency (I like about 5 - 6 Tbsp).

For aesthetic appeal place in a serving dish, add a couple of fresh parsley leaves for decoration and serve.
