Spaghetti Salad With Tomatoes, Feta and Pesto Sauce (Can Be Gf) image

This is a loosely mediterranian inspired spaghetti salad. It is packed with flavour and just a little different due to the use of spaghetti instead of penne pasta. If you like feel free to add in other veggies of your choice (celery, carrot, bell pepper, broccoli, olives). It can be gluten-free if you ensure that your pasta is gluten-free (corn, rice, quinoa, millet, soy) and your pesto sauce also. I hope youll enjoy this salad as much as we do! :)

I'm not a big fan of feta cheese, so I used goat cheese instead. It was just as good.

I'm allergic to tomatoes, so I used sun-dried tomatoes instead. It was still delicious!

I thought the pesto sauce was a bit too strong. Next time, I'll use half the amount.
