From chef Tom Walton, this one is sure to steal the show this summer. Fresh, vibrant and zesty, itโ€™s the summer salad youโ€™ve been waiting for. A gorgeous dish thatโ€™s easy to whip up, it makes a festive side plate for entertaining, Christmas parties or taking along to summer BBQs.ย This recipe is made with Delcado avocados.

Tom Walton’s green goddess pasta salad

Print Recipe Pin Recipe
Prep Time 20 mins
Cook Time 15 mins
Course Dinner, Lunch

Ingredients
  

  • 4 Delcado avocados
  • Zest and juice of 1 large lemon
  • 1 cup natural yoghurt
  • Pinch of dried chili flakes
  • 2 handfuls of basil leaves
  • 2 handfuls of flat leaf parsley leaves
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 cobs of corn
  • 500 g spiral pasta
  • 200 g diced bacon
  • 2 tbsp tiny capers
  • 1 punnet grape tomatoes halved
  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/3 cup semi-dried cherry tomatoes

Instructions
 

  • To make the Green Goddess sauce, scoop the flesh of 2 Delcados, the lemon zest, juice, yoghurt, chili flakes, and half the basil and parsley into a blender with some salt and pepper to taste. Blend to a smooth sauce. Taste and adjust if needed, and set aside.
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to the boil and cook the corn cobs for 5 minutes, then remove (but do not drain the water). Set the corn aside and allow to cool.
  • Add the pasta to the boiling water and cook for 9 minutes (or according to pack instructions). Drain, then refresh under cold water and drain again.
  • Meanwhile once the corn has cooled, cut it off the cob and set aside.
  • Cook the bacon in a frying pan until crispy. Add the caper for 2 minutes toward the end to become slightly crisp and fragrant.
  • Roughly chop the remaining parsley and combine in a large mixing bowl with the cooked pasta, corn, tomatoes, bacon, and capers. Pour in the avocado sauce and olive oil. Toss gently to combine and season to taste.
  • Scoop the remaining 2 Delcados from their skin and cut into large wedges. Add to the salad, tossing a couple times more to mix.
  • Serve the salad scattered with the semi dried tomatoes and remaining basil leaves.

TIPS:

  • Delcados are the ideal choice for this dish thanks to their smooth, buttery texture, making for a perfectly creamy Green Goddess sauce. Delcados are slow grown, left on the tree for nearly twice as long as other avocados to let their rich, unique flavour develop.
  • For effortless entertaining, you can prep the Delcado Green Goddess sauce, pasta and corn ahead of time and keep them separately in the fridge. Simply mix everything together and add the final touches when youโ€™re ready to serve.

Me and @fantasticfurniture go WAY back! When I fir Me and @fantasticfurniture go WAY back! When I first came to Australia in my 20s, it's where I headed to buy everything I needed for my first apartment at an incredible price! And I've loved watching the range get more and more impressive over the years as my knowledge of furniture has increased. I had no idea how extensive their Aussie Made sofa range was though. I'd love you to check out the options via link in bio as I think you'll be impressed! I think we have a renewed appreciation for Aussie Made and supporting local manufacturing and jobs and this is a great success story. We love a bit of high low decorating, and turns out Fantastic Furniture is a great place to find your family lounge, a special accent chair, an extra ottoman for occasional seating and so much more.

How gorgeous is this Brisbane kids' bedroom?! 

@brittwhitestudio worked closely with the boys (aged 7 and 9) to understand their needs with a bespoke bunk bed solution crafted by BRC Cabinets, featuring ample storage as well as an under-stair hidey-hole, a useful reading nook for books and a built-in charger for electronics. Local craftsmen Emmettโ€™s Ropes designed and hand-tied the ropework on the top bunk and the supporting pillar beneath.

Wallpaper in every single room! What do you recko Wallpaper in every single room!

What do you reckon? You'd think it would be overkill but it isn't because so many of the designs are subtle yet still impactful.

Head over to the blog to see how @grafico_walls transformed this blank canvas Melbourne townhouse with their products, which you've probably seen on The Block over the years. And read how Damian Corney has grown this Melbourne business with wife Adele and a growing team. There's also a look inside the very cool Motley Hotel which has used a whopping 4km of their wallpaper throughout!

You can also watch a video tour with Bec Douros as the house featured on Open Homes Australia over the weekend.

Our friends at @mintdesignau have done it again!

Homeowner Briony Marsh says: Itโ€™s totally changed our home lifestyle now we can sit outside on the lounge in the sun or shade, be in the pool, spa, sauna or cooking pizzas and hanging out with friends. It sounds cliched but it really feels like we are on holiday at home!โ€

Head over to the blog to see the finer details, including a sauna and a seriously good looking copper pizza oven. There's a lot packed into this space!

Located inside a 1912 sandstone villa in Adelaideโ€™s Kensington, this bathroom makeover combines classic and contemporary elements that complement the homeโ€™s original, period features. 

Designed by the homeโ€™s owner @designby_Tahirih, who is a property stylist too, the renovation came sooner than expected after water ingress made the makeover of their only bathroom an urgent necessity!

The whole project cost an impressive $20k, project managed herself.
