Method

  1. Cook the pasta according to the packet instructions.
  2. While the pasta cooks, slice the kabana into half moons, and the spring onions if using.
  3. Drain the pasta and put it in a large bowl. Add the kabana, the spring onions if using, and enough thousand island dressing to coat everything, about ⅔ of the bottle, and toss to combine.
  4. Serve warm, or leave to cool and serve at room temperature or cold.

Good to know

  • Nan's original recipe had chopped spring onions when she made it for all the horse owners' functions, but she knew her grandchildren well and left them out.
