Pasta Salad

Today is the day of Daylight Saving Time. A Sunday out of the usual timeframe.

Heavy rain, storm and thunderstorm warning the whole day. But for a couple of minutes the sun is shining. That brought up the idea of some kind of Party food. Pasta Salad.

Nothing complicated, just a run though the fridge and fresh cooked short pasta.  

The dressing was kept very simple. 

These kinds of salad represent summertime and gatherings for me. Telling people to bring some food often ends in potato salad or pasta salad. Not very creative, but party goers often are not. Do not think about a salad, just throw it together.

Ingredients:

100 g short pasta

1 spring onion, 2 medium tomatoes without the wet middle bit

6 cm white from a leek, 4 stalks basil

250 g cooked green asparagus

Dressing:

4 tbsp mayonaise, 1 tsp Dijon mustard, 60 ml cream, 4 tbsp apple cider vibegar

Salt, pepper, Italian herbs

Cook the pasta. The last minute throw in the chopped onion and leek. Drain and douse in cold water. Chop everything else and toss all of it in the dressing.
