#  Roasted Vegetable &amp; Orecchiette Salad With A Tomato &amp; Caper Dressing  


This is an easy and versatile pasta salad. In fact it’s a hybrid – it can be eaten as a hot pasta dish which is sweet and sour with the tomato caper dressing with loads of cheese, or allowed to cool and be eaten as a side salad, perfect for a barbecue.
