Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the packet and let it cool. Boil the eggs hard and let them cool down too. In the meantime, wash the tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, the fresh herbs and rocket. Remove the stalk or shell or wash and then dice or cut into small pieces. Cut the ham into strips. Prepare a dressing from the mayonnaise, natural yogurt, mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper, sugar and herbs. Mix in the pasta, diced tomatoes, cucumber, paprika, corn, ham strips and the chopped rocket. Finally peel the eggs, quarter them and decorate the salad with them. Tastes very light, fresh and is something different in contrast to the conventional, heavy mayonnaise variant! The same applies to this salad: if it is served as a side dish, it is enough for more than 4 people.
