Ingredients

4 egg (s), hard-boiled
3 bell pepper (s), (red, yellow and green)
1 pack ham, diced or bacon (approx. 200 gr.)
1 small Jar cucumber (cornichons)
1 clove garlic, (depending on taste)
500 g pasta, (preferably croissants or spirals)
1 glass mayonnaise, (but also works great with yogurt cream)
Pepper, to taste (best colored freshly ground)

Instructions

Finely dice the eggs, peppers and gherkins (0.5 cm) and place in a large bowl, leave out the bacon in the pan until they take on color and are slightly crispy. Press the garlic or dice it with a knife and mix it with a pinch of salt and fold it into the dice. Cook the pasta and add it while it is still warm, let it cool down briefly, but don`t let it get completely cold.
Pepper a little (to taste) and then fold in the mayonnaise.
You don`t need salt as the bacon gives off enough salty taste.
