Method

  1. Make the dressing
    Add the olive oil and red wine vinegar to a small jug. Whisk in 1–2 tablespoons of the Hot Smoked Kingfish & Vermouth Pâté until smooth. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. Dress the pasta
    Pour the dressing over the warm, drained risoni and toss well so it absorbs the flavour.

  3. Assemble the salad
    Spread the pasta onto a large platter. Arrange the green beans, tomatoes, cucumber, capers, olives and soft-boiled eggs around the pasta.

  4. Finish and serve
    Spoon over the remaining pâté. Scatter generously with basil leaves and dill fronds.
