Ingredients for 2 servings:

  • 250 g spirals
  • 1 small onion(s)
  • 1 apple
  • 2 tomatoes
  • 1 cucumber(s) (vegetable cucumber)
  • 6 small gherkins
  • 150 g meat salad or vegetarian “meat salad”
  • 50 g mayonnaise
  • 1 pinch of salt
  • 1 pinch(s) of pepper

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Cooking/baking time approx. 10 minutes; Total time approx. 30 minutes

Cook the spirelli in salted water until al dente. Drain and refresh, or let cool completely. Chop all vegetables. Finely dice the onions. Deseed and dice the cucumber. Cut the apple into small, bite-sized pieces. Roughly dice the tomatoes. Finely chop the pickles. Once the cooked spirelli have cooled, toss them with the chopped vegetables in a large salad bowl. Fold in the meat salad and, if the salad seems too dry, add a little more mayonnaise. Finally, season with salt and pepper. The salad tastes best when it has been left to marinate for one to two hours.
