Recipe: How to make the perfect pasta salad for the barbecue
Boil the noodles.
Depending on the type of pasta you have chosen, the preparation time will vary.
Consult the manufacturer's instructions for how long to cook your pasta for the perfect pasta salad.
While the pasta for the pasta salad is cooking in the pot on the stovetop, you can start chopping the pickles.
To do this, first cut the cucumbers lengthways and then into small cubes.
Place the cucumbers in a large salad bowl.
Peel the onions and chop them up too.
If you shed a tear or two while cutting onions, it may be worth buying an onion cutter (promotional link).
Add the diced onions to the salad bowl as well.
Then cut the meat sausage into small cubes and add them to the bowl.
Remove the cooked noodles from the heat, use a sieve to scoop out the water and add them to the salad bowl as well.
Add the mayonnaise and mix the five ingredients well.
However, you do not have to throw away the pasta water, because it is an excellent cleaning agent.
Then let the pasta salad sit for an hour and then garnish with salt, pepper and parsley - the perfect pasta salad for the next barbecue party is ready.
