Spicy cold pasta salad

[isnibs]

Anyone have a recipe for the above please. Something suitable for boys for school lunches. Not necessarily needing meat or fish, but can be in the salad. Just wondering what to add to give a bit of flavour.

Thanks

I use spicy mayo (Branston) to add a zing to lots of cold food.

Thank you boxtops, haven't seen Branston's spicy mayo, but will go to tescos tomorrow. Glad to get, hopefully the first of a few ideas.
Cheers

well you could add a chilli to normal mayo or cayenne pepper?

i like getting spicy sausages, take them out of their skins make into mini meatballs and cook then add to pasta with peppers, spring onions, toms etc

make a spicy tom sauce buy adding chilli, or will that be too messy?

I often make oneusing a recipe that my sister who lives in the US gave me... Pasta twists, artichoke hearts, red peppers that you buy in a jar (not the raw kind) chopped gherkins, or capers,.. we use an Italian dressing to give it oomph, also a dollop of mayo... - i've put in chopped up crab sticks before, and also made one with chopped salami It sounds a lot but we often make it for parties so we need a lot . But you could just take what you need from my list of ingredients...You could also chuck in some cooked green peas.

You could add pasta to some coronation chicken and just make the coronation bit spicier using chilli flakes.

borrowing on tiggers, if you can source chipotle or aleppo pepper, that has wonderful flavour in mayo......Fischer and Weisser also do a wonderful rapsberry chipotle sauce that gives brilliantly with suasages/chicken/pork/salmon etc...... probably only available in London but Waitrose may do it.....?

You can also slice up bratwurst into the pasta - that adds zing!
