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.
My son absolutely loves pesto pasta and because I couldn’t make pesto at home, I just went to buy some and phew, there wasn’t any on the shelves. And omg thankfully woolies was nearby I just grabbed a woolies salad pesto pasta kit and my 5 year old was so very happy. Winner winner! It is adequate for a kid.

Wow was I surprised it was so yummy. I have even gotten my hubby onto them from he’s lunch for work. It’s going to be a must buy in our house. It’s fresh it’s crisp just right

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!

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.

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.

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

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

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

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.

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.????

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

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.

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.

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!

‘A Beautiful Adelaide Blend With A Lighter Alcohol Content!’
For lighter wines that still taste like the real deal, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened range is quickly becoming a go-to. These bottles bring all the flavour with noticeably less alcohol, which is why everyone’s falling in love with them.
Best SIPS’ Chapel Hill Enlightened Wines review team put the Rosé and Pinot Grigio through their paces, and the feedback was unanimous: both are fresh, light and perfect for summer sipping without the unwanted morning crogginess.
A rosé with summer written all over it
Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Rosé is bright, crisp and fruity, hitting all the right notes without tipping into the “too sweet” zone. It’s the kind of bottle you reach for at a casual barbecue or any get-together where you want something delicious but easygoing.
It’s exactly this balance of lightness and full flavour in an affordable bottle that has so many fans raving.
“Light, refreshing and honestly just feels like a little moment of peace in a glass. The flavour is this perfect mix of crisp + fruity without being too sweet — literally the kind of rosé you can sip while you finally sit down after a long day.”
A summer staple … on the lighter side
“Too many of these low alcohol wines just don’t taste enough like the real deal-but this is a sure fire exception. Beautifully refreshing, with a touch of sweetness that’s not overwhelming. A gorgeous colour too, which is a bonus- after all, we also drink either our eyes! Add into the mix a reasonable price point- this rose is a winner!”
“I love a nice glass of Rosé and the Chapel Hill Enlightened Rosé did not disappoint! It’s really light and refreshing and tastes like a really expensive wine. I love that this wine is really affordable, so I can enjoy a beautiful Rosé without breaking the bank more often. Definitely give this one a try!”
If your warm-weather wine rack needs an affordable new staple, this is it.
A Pinot Grigio you’ll be buying again (and again!)
For the white lovers, Chapel Hill’s Enlightened Pinot Grigio is a solid everyday white that ticks all the boxes: crisp, clean, food-friendly and affordable.
Our taste-testers repeatedly praised how balanced and versatile it feels, whether chilled on its own or alongside simple meals and casual gatherings.
“We love a white to pair with our spring/summer lunches and especially our seafood. This option ticked all the boxes …”
A versatile sip you’ll keep reaching for
“I enjoyed the first sip to the last of this Pinot. Anything with pear and citrus is something I want to try and this lived up to that, but with a lighter alcohol content – which I appreciate! Enjoyed over dinner, it paired really nicely with the food I was eating. This wine is something I’d happily recommend to others.”
“The wine offered just the right balance of fruity flavours – fresh and vibrant, but never overpowering or too sharp. It paired beautifully with both our light lunches and dinner, making every meal feel a bit more special. I also appreciated how crisp and refreshing it tasted, perfect for unwinding and enjoying good company. Definitely a Pinot Grigio I’d reach for again.”
Your lower-alcohol go-to
The team rates Enlightened wines 4.34 out of 5 and recommends them for anyone on the hunt for flavour-forward wine with less alcohol. They’re bright, modern and made for the kind of moments where you’d love a glass, but still want to feel good afterwards.
The warmer weather tends to make alcohol go to my head faster – I’m not a big drinker, but just for that reason I’d seriously consider a low alcohol wine. The Pinot Grigio particularly sound as if I might enjoy it. I might well buy a bottle or two for Christmas.
Looks delicious, would be keen to try their wines based off the reviews. Love anything local and the light wine is just an extra win – low alcohol content would be fab for nights with friends where we all still have to drive home afterwards so would be buying for that type of event!
Chapel Hill Wines do have quite a good reputation. I like the fact that it is low alcohol content. Personally, I like a very sweet wine but many would like these as they are not so sweet. I wish them well with sales and think it’s good they are doing something about lowering alcohol level.
Thanks for sharing this review. It sounds that the taste is good, the price is good and the alcohol content is really low indeed. I do like the fact that they’re light. One of the things I don’t like when you’re drinking a couple of glasses that it fills you up and it affects your appetite
I just asked the forum for recommendations on zero alcohol, but this is an attractive option as well! I do enjoy a Rose, so will try this one after all the positive reviews. It’s a shame they don’t have a sparkling in their collection yet! Would have been prefect for all the celebrating at this time of year.
I dislike rose, but the pinot grigio sounds like it might suit me. To be honest, the alcohol content doesn’t bother me all that much – I rarely drink more than a glass or two anyway – but it would probably be nice from a general health point of view to know I’m consuming less alcohol.
This sounds like the perfect glass. I do love being able to have a few drinks and not be all over the place about me. And as a bubbly girlie from Adelaide myself, I’m sure I’ll find a lot to like about this drop. Crisp and not too sweet, I’m sold and will have to try it.
It was the first time for me hearing about the chapel hill brand. And i still recall when i picked up the Pinot Grigio from my local, the staff there actually stopped me and said i picked a winner! She said that it was probably the best Pinot they had available to sell.
I’ve heard a lot of good things about Chapel Hill wines and the reviews are always good. I like that they have low alcohol range as I like to have a few glasses when I finally get to have one. Not being too sweet is a bonus that suits me well.
The idea of having a lower alcohol content wine without compromising taste is really exciting. There’s nothing worse than feeling “under the weather” from the effects of alcohol. This lovely wine ticks all the boxes, lower alcohol and a refreshing flavour. I’m keen to get the Pinot Grigio in my cart and into my fridge!
This wine sounds delightful and really refreshing to enjoy on a summer afternoon. I love that it tastes fresh and crisp and still has the same punch as other wine. It sounds like an absolute delight. I will have to give it a try next time i am at the bottle shop looking for some wine.
