German Pasta Salad
By Chef Romania (@chef_romania)
Ingredients
- 16 ounces short pasta (e.g. macaroni, farfalle, fusilli)
- 2 bell peppers
- 2 tomatoes
- 7 ounces black forest ham
- 1 small red onion (optional)
- 5 baby dill pickles
- 2 tablespoons pickle juice
- 5 tablespoons mayo (more to taste)
- 4 tablespoons yogurt
- salt to taste
- pepper to taste
Directions
- 1Cook the pasta according to package directions until al dente. Then shock them under cold water and place them in a large bowl.
- 2Wash the bell peppers and tomatoes. Cut them into small cubes.
- 3Also, cut the black forest ham as well as the baby dill pickles into small pieces.
- 4If you want a little bit of a stronger flavor in your pasta salad, you can add a small red onion, finely chopped (completely optional).
- 5Add all chopped vegetables and the onion (optional) to the bowl with the pasta.
- 6In a separate small bowl, add the pickle juice, mayo, yogurt, salt, and pepper and mix well. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix until well combined.
- 7Taste the pasta salad and add more spices, mayo, or yogurt to suit your taste.
- 8We would recommend refrigerating the pasta salad for around one hour before consumption to allow the flavors to mingle.
