Spread the love

Ingredients for 10 servings:

  • 400 g spiral noodles
  • 1 cucumber(s)
  • 2 apples
  • 5 eggs
  • 300 g peas, frozen
  • 1 jar salad cream (yogurt salad cream, 250 g)
  • 5 gherkins
  • n. B. cucumber water

Instructions

Working time approx. 15 minutes; Rest period approx. 1 day; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 1 day 25 minutes

without sausage, ideal for summer

Cook the pasta and eggs. Rinse both in cold water. Peel the cucumber and apples, then cut both into small pieces, along with the pickled gherkins. Add everything to the pasta along with the frozen peas. Add the yogurt salad cream and mix everything together. I only season the pasta water with salt, nothing else. Of course, everyone can add more seasoning as they wish. Once the pasta salad has soaked overnight, taste it to see if there’s anything missing. It’s enough for me as it is; the pickled gherkins add enough for my taste. Since the pasta will have absorbed the salad cream well the next morning, you can also add a little more salad cream and pickle water to prevent it from becoming too dry. If you’re in a hurry, you can of course serve the pasta salad right away. It tastes good too.
