Pasta Salad with Kabanos Sausages
Ingredients
- 100 g shell pasta
- 2 teaspoons olive oil
- 250 g poultry kabanos sausages (e.g. thin ones)
- 1/2 red bell pepper
- 1/3 red onion
- a dozen or so basil leaves (optional)
- 1 small can of corn
- 2 pickles
- 1/2 cup mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons yogurt
- 1 tablespoon ketchup
Preparation
- Cook the pasta in salted water according to package instructions. Drain in a sieve, rinse with water, drain again, put back in the pot, add olive oil and mix. Let cool, then place in a glass salad bowl.
- Cut the kabanos sausages into pieces and place on top of the pasta. Then add chopped red bell pepper, onion and basil.
- Sprinkle with drained corn and chopped cucumbers. Drizzle with sauce (a mixture of mayonnaise, yogurt and ketchup).
Tips
Combining mayonnaise with sour cream or Greek yogurt makes the resulting sauce more liquid and it may run down the sides of the dish. If we want a perfectly even layer of sauce, we can use mayonnaise alone.
