Pasta shells always make for an attractive salad and the green pepper adds an extra burst of colour while the combination of flavours makes this a favourite for all occasions. The leftovers keep well in the fridge for a few days too.

I would never have thought of putting chutney in pasta. Must give this a try.
Oh chutney and mayonnaise are a super yummy combination. On occasion I mix the two together for a quick chip dip too 🙂
