Woolworths Basil Pesto Pasta Salad Kit :
4.13 out of 5 based on 153 reviews.

Why you’ll love the new Woolworths Basil Pesto Pasta Salad Kit …

For the Woolworths Basil Pesto Pasta Salad Kit Product Review, we asked mums to try the Salad Kit that’s made up of a deliciously cooked and flavoured pre-cooked penne pesto pasta combined with cherry tomatoes, parmesan, parsley and fresh rocket.

All ingredients are packaged separately within the larger salad container for freshness and crunch.  So all you have to do is mix them together just before serving.

Here’s an awesome 10 Minute, 1 Pan Dinner using the Woolworths Basil Pesto Pasta Salad Kit …

How easy is that?  No needing to buy (and prepare) all the separate ingredients!  Just tip into a bowl, mix and serve.

We think these Woolworths Salad Kits are a brilliant idea for those times when you’re asked to bring a salad along to a BBQ or party … or even a picnic!  And they are absolutely an inspired choice for busy weeknight dinners when you only have minutes to put dinner together.

  • Punchy pesto, bold basil-y goodness

    I’m not sure about you, but there are few things more satisfying than a delicious pre-prepared salad that you can throw together in a matter of seconds (because the time spent having to chop up veggies, wash lettuce, cook pasta is vastly overrated).

    Woolworths’ Basil Pesto Pasta Salad kit is the ideal lunch solution (just chuck in some shredded roast chicken for extra protein) or the ideal side accompaniment to a summer barbecue.

    It was a hit with hubby and Miss Two (who, let’s be honest, is a typical toddler in terms of her food fickleness).

    And in addition to its own deliciousness, the Basil Pesto Pasta Salad paired perfectly with a chilled glass of rose (what more do you need?!).

    I’m looking forward to trying the entire Woolworths Salad Kits range – they are definitely my go to for entertaining this summer!

  • My new favourite salad!

    I loved this salad so much, I have purchased it four more times since reviewing it. Why do I love it? Fresh, tasty, convenient! I love how the cherry tomatoes, parsley and Parmesan cheese is packaged separately to the pesto salad. I have fussy family members and this way I can control what or how much to cater for preferences. The addition of pine nuts would be the only thing I would add, otherwise it is perfect. At 500 grams it’s a great size too.

  • Nice

    So we had our basil pesto salad again this evening. The taste was good and the ingredients were fresh. But this time I did feel that the penne was a bit undercooked so I just cooked it and let it cool and then mixed the other ingredients. I do like the basil pesto they make and it tastes great. Happy to recommend this to all the lovely people who want options for a quick meal.

  • Love it

    Me and my family totally love the woolies basil pesto salad kit. It tastes great and super fresh. I really like how they separately pack everything so it doesn’t get all mushy. The quantity and quality, both are great. It’s a winner and one of my fav woolies salad. You can always add it as a side to any meal and it will be a perfect meal for a lil kid. Totally recommend trying it out. Love it

  • Very impressive

    I must admit, Woolworths brand of products don’t usually impress me, I find them to be cheap, nasty and never made in australia. Hence I avoid buying them. A friend bought this round to a bbq we were having. It is delicious! Everything you need is included in the container, all in separate packets so they stay fresh. If I have to criticise one thing, it would be the over use of plastic. Other then that, we enjoyed every mouthful

  • Needs improvement

    I really liked how the kit came with the ingredients all separate so it didn’t mix in with the pesto pasta and spoil the salad components. I thought it was tasty but the pesto itself with the cheese was a bit too strong. It needed more salad/tomato to really balance out the acidity. I’d buy this again for the convenience but would add more salad in myself

  • very handy

    I reviewed one of the other salads as part of the review team and was impressed by it. We had unexpected guests arrive from the fire zone so I bought the Basil pesto salad mix. Everybody raved about it as contents could be chosen according to allergies. I bulked it out by adding Gluten free pasta with home made pesto and served each item individually as a side to Chicken breast fillets.

  • Basil Pesto Pasta

    It was easy to prepare & delicious but my 2 daughters aged 9 &13 found the pesto quite strong- flavoured & Miss 9 says she doesn’t want to eat it again, but us other 3 would. It was a quick & convenient addition to our lamb chops that evening.????

  • Convenience

    I really like anything which can be made easily, especially at dinner time when you are bound to be short of time, really easy to put together slightly oily then I would have liked and a little bit of spice would have been lovely otherwise great combination to go with meat or vegetables . Definitely will buy again

  • Absolute delight

    I was a touch skeptical when I bought the creamy chicken pasta salad that it would taste as good as it sounded but I was proven wrong.
    The kit was great, with the caramelised onion chutney and chicken separate from the rocket which is on top of the pasta. The initial downside for me was that the onion chutney was not contained well enough and I spilt some.
    The serving size is great. Unfortunately for them, the rest of my household were not keen to try so I had the whole lot over multiple servings. It would be fantastic as a side dish but I also found it great on its own.
    I feel that the bacon and corn did not necessarily add to the dish. I did add some Parmesan cheese which paired nicely with the other ingredients and which I would prefer over the bacon and corn.
    Overall a great combination and wonderful spin on a salad.

  • It was ok

    As a quick fast meal to grab it was ok. I although did find it oily and the pasta could have been softer and more cooked. Good to be able to add chicken for a balanced meal when you have no time. Well packaged and everything fresh still. Kids loved it. I however added a few extra flavours for my liking. Would probably try the other packs next time.

  • My favourite so far

    Basil? Good. Pasta? Good. Salad? So good. This was the second of the Woolworths fresh pasta range I’ve tried and yum – love this one. It tastes fresh, the textures are fresh and balanced and the basil flavour and dressing is the right amount for me. This one will be used as a meal or shared with my family as a side. They love basil pesto salad as much as I do! I may jist add some toasted pine nuts!

    Beautiful salad you can serve at home and for friends. The only downfall is the greek salad is the only Glutenfree option available

  • These are so cute! Although, I am not overly sure where I would be able to buy slider buns. Ones I have seen at the supermarket all seem to be larger size. Anything with lamb though and I’m in! I love that it uses a nice yoghurt instead of tzatiki, which I hate!

  • This recipe looks delicious however I am not a huge fan of lamb. I wonder if I replaced it with another type of meat it would taste as good. It also has a lot of ingredients so wouldn’t be something I could just whip up, I would need to shop first.

  • Delish recipe! I made something with similar flavours tonight, Arayas in Lebanese bread. And I had my trusty Ansell gloves, allspice and lamb is lovely but not when the smell is stuck on your hands! I’ll have to give this a go, it’s definitely something I’d love and sounds like a perfect family meal
