Why you’ll love the new Woolworths Spanish Style Pasta Salad Kit …

For the Woolworths Spanish Style Pasta Salad Kit Product Review we asked mums to try this Spanish Style Salad that combines parsley, fetta and red onion, with a delicious pasta that’s coated in a rich tomato basil dressing.

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 idea using the Woolworths Spanish Style 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.

  • Perfect combo and time saving!

    We chose Spanish Style Pasta Salad Kit as a side dish and they loved it. Everything was so easy to throw together in the container, my 12 year old enjoyed making it. There was just the right amount for our large family of 9. There was the right amount of chorizo, making it not too spicy for the kids to eat. I liked that the basil was pre shredded and not too overpowering, a good balance when mixed with the pasta.
    Overall, I was extremely impressed with the quality and the ability to mix the salads in the container they came in anywhere. Great value for money and generous serving sizes. My kids were actually excited to have salads again. everything was in the right proportions, that there wasn’t too much of something and we were able to remove things we didn’t want or like. Extremely convenient.

  • Spanish Style Pasta Delight

    I decided to try the Spanish Style Pasta Salad from Woolworths because it basically contains everything I love. Pasta, Fetta cheese, red onions and parsley. I wasn’t sure how much I’d enjoy the pasta sauce but I was very pleasantly surprised. The rich tomato basil dressing was kind of tangy and it had great tomato flavour. Loaded with goodness and flavour packed indeed! I didn’t mix the ingredients together initially because I first wanted to taste the pasta on its own. When I mixed them altogether, it even tasted better. Yum! Call me lazy (if you must), but I love the convenience of having all the ingredients for a great salad in one kit. I served the salad with chicken and my whole family were impressed. They reckon I’m a pretty good chef (tee hee). I cannot wait to impress them with the rest of the Woolworths Deli Salad Kits in the range!

  • So delicious!

    I didn’t get chosen for this review but I couldn’t go past this Spanish style pasta salad when I saw it reduced in Woolworths. We ended up having it with some inghams, extra lean turkey burgers and it was absolutely delicious! The pasta salad could definitely be eaten on its own as it has so much flavour. There definitely isn’t enough for 4 people but feeds at least 2 well. I like that some of the ingredients are packaged separately to the pasta salad to keep it extra fresh. I would highly recommend this Spanish style pasta salad, as it is bursting with different flavours! This is the second flavour, I have tried, in the new pasta salad range in Woolworths and can ultimately say that both of them were incredibly delicious and worth the splurge!

  • Convenient healthy option

    The Woolworths Spanish Style Pasta Salad kit is such a versatile salad which can be used as an accompaniment to chicken or barbeque meat or just on its own for a quick lunch. I really enjoy a nice salad but I’m often the only one wanting one so these kits are so convenient for me. I also enjoy trying new mixes because bland salads can be boring so this Spanish pasta salad was really appreciated. The tomato basil dressing was rich and delicous.

  • Very nice

    My family simply love the Greek salad kit from Woolworths. All their salads are so fresh and easy to prepare. The salad is very tasty with a delicious dressing. The salads are reasonably priced and the quality is awesome. They are quite famous, grab them quickly. I love the parsley addition to it. The quantity is adequate for one person but you can always increase the quantity by adding more stuff like feta and spinach and ofcourse parsley. Recommend trying.

  • Convenient

    I tried this for the first time on the weekend and i was surprised. I quiet liked it. It was convenient, easy and tasted nice. I liked that i could serve it from the bowl it come in, instead of having to dirty another dish. I would have liked a bit more of the flavoring. It was yum.

  • Spicey Spanish!

    This was so good. I just love how all the ingredients, every thing you will need, is packed in the one container. All items are individually wrapped too, to maintain quality and freshness. The rich tomato basil dressing is to die for, they should bottle that, they would make a fortune. Everything is chopped up. All you need to do is empty all ingredients in to a bowl and mix to combine. To save washing up, I mixed it all together in the container I bought it in. Fabulous side dish at a BBQ or for a quick dinner. Just add meat and chips. Everyone from Nan down to grandson loved it, clean plates all round. Well done Woolworths a product I will happily buy again and again

  • Nice

    The woolies salad kits are nice and very convenient when you are in a hurry or just not game for making dinner or lunch. We have tried the Spanish style pasta kit a few times now. My hubby really likes the taste. It’s not adequate for him as a full meal but yes as a side. The ingredients are always fresh and they are reasonably priced. I recommend this to all mums who need a break sometimes.

  • great size

    I bought this salad from Woolworths when it was on sale. I think the size of this salad is perfect for a side for a bbq or dinner. Three out of the five of us liked the pasta salad while two were not as keen on the sauce flavouring. I think these salads are convenient, easy to carry on the go and generally pretty healthy.

  • Tub of convenience

    This salad was delicious and so simple to create. You could add as much or as little of the extras that you want.

    I loved that you could also use the container as the serving bowl. And is resealable.

    The salad was very generous and went well as a side dish. The rocket was a little soggy but I added extra spinach leaves to bulk it out.
    I have bought this and a few others since!

    Loved the top tray bc u could remove it and tip the top ingredients into the pack and pretty much just mix it all inside the pack meaning no dishes. Also u could close the lid on leftovers. I love that there is variety and the convenience and size of packs. Price was a bit high though for amount in pack.

  • tasty but expensive

    I enjoyed this salad but my elderly mother thought it a bit spicy.
    I was able to get about 3 serves out of it as side dish or for lunch.
    The ingredients were of good quality and the sauce tasty.
    However I would not buy it regularly as I found the cost rather expensive.

    Pasta sauce as too overbearing and could hardly find any chorizo so therefore somewhat disporting

  • Spanish style pasta disappointing

    I have tried many of the Woolworths Deli salads. I enjoyed the other salads that I tried. I did not enjoy this one. I did not like the flavours in the tomato based pasta. I picked out the cherry tomatoes and feta to eat, but threw away the rest of the salad. My children, who ate the creamy chicken pasta, would not eat this one.

  • Spanish style let down

    Overall I found the Spanish style pasta salad to be a let down. The herbs were overpowering and took away from the idea of the salad. overall none of the family wanted to even try the salad after the first person. I do look forward to trying other salads within this range.

  • Review: Spanish Style Pasta Salad

    Dragging my kids through holiday madness to the local Woolworths was exhausting, especially after I tried to buy my kit online with my weekly shop. I was disappointed as the full range was not available. I finally selected the Spanish Style Pasta Salad and headed home. The clear packaging was appealing and as I opened the kit was pleasantly surprised that everything looked fresh. I combined the bits and pieces and replaced the lid to shake the salad. I felt like a Kardashian- fat ass and all! I was excited as it was one less meal I had to think about for that day. I sat down in anticipation and was unfortunately disappointed. The sauce was very strong and not pleasantly so. I had forgotten it was meant to have chorizo until about half way through when I found a tiny rogue square of a suspicious meat. I had to recheck the packaging to see what it was. I wasn’t able to finish the salad as it just was not enjoyable. I would definitely try another salad but would not purchase this one again, especially not for $9.

  • Spanish salad review

    The salad kit was very convenient and made a colourful display when plated up. All the ingredients were fresh and the pasta was cooked perfectly with plenty of sauce but unfortunately I didn’t enjoy the flavour of the salad and I thought it was very expensive . The salad kit was supposedly to serve 4 people but I found it was a perfect serving for 2 people.

Buon Appetito! A Busy Mum’s Guide To Memorable, Simple Summer Entertaining

I fondly remember slow, summer afternoons with family and friends gathered around a table of delicious finger-food during my childhood – the adults chatting and laughing, the kids pretending they understood the jokes. My parents had continued their Mediterranean traditions long after settling in Australia – and the simple joy of an effortlessly elegant gathering was one of my favourites.

What I don’t remember is my parents ever being stressed about the gatherings. It all just seemed to ‘come together’. Ah, how times have changed!

There’s something about the Italian style of entertaining that’s still so alluring in our fast-paced family lives. The idea of La Dolce Vita: a sweet life surrounded by family, friends, food and minimal fuss. Which is why we’ve enlisted the help of the entertaining experts at Sandhurst to share easy tips for elegant, memorable summer get-togethers.

We also asked our community of mums to share their tried and true, easy summer entertaining ideas, and we can’t wait to share them with you!

Euro-Inspired Entertaining

Sandhurst

Before we dive into the delicious world of sumptuous, simple summer entertaining, it helps to know a little about the inspiration behind our guide. And that’s the concept of Italian entertaining – where time is taken to lovingly grow ingredients, before enjoying them with those you love.

Established in 1988, Sandhurst was born from the time-honoured traditions of generations of the family behind the brand – a proud Italian Australian family passionate about quality produce sourced from world’s best growers.

At the helm of Sandhurst are brothers Mimmo and Ray Lubrano, who live and breathe the impeccable ingredients that become the centrepiece of so many gatherings in Australian family homes.

“Tradition is what we stand for. We’re custodians of Italian values,” explained Mimmo. “When we go to Italy we see it in our grandparents, our parents came from Italy in the 50s. The tradition is a set of values: honesty, teamwork, participation, family – all the things you would associate with Italian family are the values.”

And it’s these beautiful values that make summer gatherings in Australia an extension of the European table.

Easy Summer Entertaining Starts With … Time Saving Secrets!

A sweet summer of entertaining doesn’t need to be stressful. In fact, it shouldn’t be. It’s a chance to spend time with loved ones. To press pause on life and make memories. And it can be simple! So here are some really easy tips for making your home the place where everyone wants to gather this summer.

Create An Entertaining Kit

Whether it’s pre-planned or you’ve had friends or family drop-in, having a few things ready to go immediately melts away any stress. Here are some things to include in a summer entertaining kit:

  • A red table cloth: It instantly says festive!
  • Some platters and serving dishes
  • Candles
  • Some quality antipasto ingredients that simply need to be decanted and enjoyed!

Many Hands Make Light Work

As mums, we tend to be our own worst enemy when it comes to delegating tasks. But remember, a summer of entertaining is about creating memories – not perfection. So let the kids help, and accept offers from your guests who’d like to bring something along to share.

“It can be overwhelming, so just delegate, and prepare. I do one dish prep per day and pop them in the freezer. Then they just need to be heated up. Let the kids do the decorating for you – plus keeps them busy!” – MoM Member Kirsty

Decorate With Happiness

There’s no need to pull out your finest crystal to pull off an elegant get together. Take a look around your home and garden to see what will bring your table to life. A bowl of lemons is a gorgeous addition, as is a bunch of gum leaves. Keep it simple and understated.

Finger Food For The Win

Nothing says simple summer elegance more than a charcuterie board (or three!). When my friends and our families get together, it’s our go-to – every family is asked to ‘bring a board’. Some do savoury and some sweet, so we’re covered for a long afternoon of catching up.

“Food wise, I keep it simple by doing cold deli meats, cheeses, fresh fruits and veggies.” – MoM Member

But just because boards are easy to put together, doesn’t mean they can’t ooze elegance. And that comes down to including quality ingredients. Choosing Sandhurst products is the easiest way to guarantee the highest quality ends up on your table. We love the premise behind the brand: from our family to yours – it invokes that nostalgic feeling of shared stories, history, gatherings and family.

A summer of sophisticated entertaining doesn’t have to be hours and hours of work. We don’t want it to be! By grabbing some beautiful ingredients to fill your pantry next time you’re shopping, you’ll know that at a moment’s notice you’ll have everything you need for a Euro-inspired gathering. No fuss, but plenty of substance and style!

  • Looked so good I couldn’t wait – Dove in off the end of my bread baton and swirled around in a couple of cheesy dips only to finish up at the Sandhurst stackers and sun-dried olives, who needs a Holiday when there is one in the kitchen, I can take any day.

  • I have been buying Sandhurst Kalamata Olives, Sandhurst Semi-Dried Tomatoes, Sandhurst Baby Capers, Sandhurst Sicilian Green Olives for years as our kitchen staple adding that extra flavours to our dishes. I buy Sandhurst products for Gift Baskets as presents for family and friends and they love this idea as I add a chopping board and a knife and crackers and cheese for a celebration of flavours.

  • I have been a purchaser of Sandhurst goods ever since they first appeared on supermarket shelves and still buy it to this day. The Sandhurst brand is the best without a doubt. This year I have not been able to find the Sandhurst cheese stuffed baby capsicums anywhere. I have tried to get on the Sandhurst site, but no luck with what they make. Help – these are such a wonderful addition to a salad.

  • I Love a good charcuterie board. I Love all the different options all on the one board. I love to do a chocolate board when we have guests over, it’s a fun way to do dessert after dinner. The kids love seeing everything layed out so they can pick and choose.

  • This is great for the grandchildren they love them as they use them as finger food and make up their own meal and use plenty of ingredients including meat and cheese on the dips and crackers. We keep it simple with the Sandhurst’s products as it is a meal in every jar and the kids love them.

  • This looks like the perfect relaxed way to have a picnic! I am loving the idea of this! Just bring along lots of fillings and plenty of cheeses and breads and of course a little alcohol and you’re all set. This sounds like the perfect way to catch up with friends!

  • Charcuterie boards are the absolute best! We do these so often in the warmer months because there’s something for the whole family. People pick and choose what they like and there’s no complaints because there’s so many different options to choose from, everyone is happy. It’s such a simple stressful way to make dinner.

  • I absolutely adore finger food and this style of feeding people when we have family and friends at our home; or when we go out for a picnic, bbq or get together. These types of food are so easy to source and to buy and to prepare and to happily eat.

    • Yes I agree, finger foods are easy and yummie ! And you can assemble a healthy enough plate (certainly when you add salads, cheeses, nuts, fruits, boiled eggs, olives and rustic breads) that it can certainly can replace a meal (either lunch or dinner). Everyone happy and no hours of preparation in the kitchen :)

      • Also; the other bonus is less mess to clean up when cutlery is not needed. Finger food is the best for laid back and relaxed get togethers. There is always such a clam and relaxed feel to a finger food meal without the need for any fancy and stuffy table settings.

  • I love the looks of different finger foods. I don’t think it is hard to put something together and I had many afternoons hanging out with many mums and all the children at the Cul the sac we then lived. At times I had 8 mums coming with over 40 kids. Many sweet memories indeed
