Pasta Salad with red Pesto and Kewpie

I visited a former co-worker and she made dinner.

She was a little under the weather and put a whole carton of 1 kilo pasta in the pot, thinking it was just 500 g as always. To help her deal with too much cooked pasta, I took some home for a pasta salad.

The best idea in this hot September weather. Using up some veggies and two Wiener sausages and cold 2 days old boiled egg, the main components came together very fast.

The dressing needed a bit of thinking and a deep roam through my condiment shelf in my fridge. A lot of bits and bobs came on the counter. The right mixture now was the challenge.

Ingredients:

180 g cooked small penne pasta

2 Wiener sausages, 1/3 cucumber  1 celery stick, 10 cherry tomatoes, 1 spring onion, 3 red radishes

1 hard boiled egg

Dressing:

Salt, pepper, oregano, parsley

1 tsp garlic paste, 3 tbsp Kewpie mayo, 4 tsp red pesto, 2 tbsp white balsamic vinegar, 1 tsp agave syrup, 1 tbsp rapeseed oil, 3 tbsp water
