Children love this salad with moist chunks of turkey and pasta shapes in a delicious dressing and it only takes minutes to prepare. You can prepare this the night before and then toss with the dressing in the morning and put it in a small plastic container with a lid in your child’s lunchbox.
 

 

 

 

It’s good idea to buy an insulated lunch box. Lunchboxes left in a warm place can become a breeding ground for germs. To keep your child’s lunchbox cool, buy a mini ice pack or freezer gel packs which can be frozen overnight. Buy a couple of ice packs so that you will always have one in the freezer. Alternatively freeze a carton or plastic bottle of juice overnight. The frozen drink will help keep food cool and will have defrosted by lunchtime.

 

Ingredients

50g pasta shape
100g cooked turkey or chicken, chopped
1 baby gem lettuce, chopped
100g canned sweetcorn
6 to 8 cherry tomatoes cut in half
1 or 2 spring onions, thinly sliced

 

Honey and Soy Dressing

3 tbsp light olive oil
1 tbsp runny honey
1 tbsp soy sauce
1 1/2 tbsp freshly squeezed lemon juice

 

Method:

Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions. Meanwhile, whisk together all the ingredients for the dressing. Put the chopped turkey, gem lettuce, sweetcorn, tomatoes and spring (green) onion into a bowl together with the drained pasta and toss with the dressing.

Easy to make. My 4 year old who loves pasta came back from nursery with an empty box and he told me his lunch had been very yummy.
