low-calorie, minimalist, simple

Cook the pasta in vegetable broth according to the instructions until al dente, then let cool. In the meantime, dice the sausage and gherkins into bite-sized pieces. In a large bowl, combine all the dressing ingredients, then stir in the pasta, sausage, and gherkin. The salad tastes best when left to stand overnight. Variations include adding spring onions or diced boiled eggs. Of course, this would make the calorie count inaccurate. Based on 10 servings, one serving has 263 kcal.
