Nothing beats easy summer meals than salads and pasta. Conveniently, this dish combines both. The recipe below yields huge amount of food and can easily feed a crowd at picnic or barbecue. The salad can hold for a few days in the fridge, but in that case I strongly advise that you store veggies separate from the pasta and the dressing just to prevent them from getting too soggy.

INGREDIENTS:
(Yields 8 generous servings / 0.73 EUR per serving / 5.80 EUR for all)
For the salad:
1 large purple onion (0.10 EUR)
1 large red bell pepper (0.40 EUR)
4 large cucumbers (1.33 EUR)
500 grams cherry tomatoes (2.00 EUR)
Handful of fresh parskey (0.13 EUR)
8 cups precooked pasta of choice, cooled (0.53 EUR)
For the dressing:
2 cups Greek yogurt (0.93 EUR)
2 tbsp mustard (0.27 EUR)
ΒΌ cup apple cider vinegar (0.13 EUR)
1 tsp salt (0.01 EUR)
1 tsp freshly ground black pepper (0.07 EUR)

METHOD:
Wash, peel and finely dice all of the veggies. I also discarded the cucumber seeds so the final salad is crunchier, but you do you. To prepare the dressing, whisk together all of the ingredients until smooth and well incorporated. Assemble the salad by tossing together all of the veggies with pasta and dressing. Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. Serve chilled.
The salad should keep refrigerated for 1-2 days, but as I already said, for best results better store the veggies separate from the dressing.


Nema boljih i lakΕ‘ih ljetnih obroka od salata i tjestenine, a ovo jelo upravo objedinjuje to dvoje. Od ovog Δete recepta dobiti ogromnu koliΔinu hrane sa kojom lako moΕΎete nahraniti cijelo mnoΕ‘tvo na nekom pikniku ili roΕ‘tilju. Salata Δe bez problema drΕΎati koji dan u friΕΎideru, no svakako vam savjetujem da povrΔe Δuvate odvojeno od tjestenine i dresinga, a sve kako vam se ono ne bi razgnjecalo.
SASTOJCI:
(Za 8 izdaΕ‘nih porcija / 5,53 kn po porciji / 44,26 kn za sve)
Za salatu:
1 veliki ljubiΔasti luk (0,75 kn)
1 velika crvena paprika (3,00 kn)
4 velika krastavca (10,00 kn)
500 g cherry rajΔica (15,00 kn)
PregrΕ‘t svjeΕΎeg perΕ‘ina (1,00 kn)
8 Ε‘alica kuhane i ohlaΔene tjestenine po izboru (4,00 kn)
Za dresing:
2 Ε‘alice grΔkog jogurta (7,00 kn)
2 ΕΎlice senfa (2,00 kn)
ΒΌ Ε‘alice jabuΔnog octa (1,00 kn)
1 ΕΎliΔica soli (0,01 kn)
1 ΕΎliΔica svjeΕΎe mljevenog crnog papra (0,50 kn)
PRIPREMA:
Operite, ogulite i fino nasjeckajte svo povrΔe. Ja sam odluΔila izrezati i baciti sjemenke krastavaca da salata bude joΕ‘ hrskavija, ali vi napravite po svojem ukusu. Priredite dresing mijeΕ‘ajuΔi sve sastojke dok ne budu jednoliΔni i glatki. Napravite salatu tako da pomijeΕ‘ate svo povrΔe, tjesteninu i dressing. KuΕ‘ajte i prilagodite zaΔine. PosluΕΎite ohlaΔeno.
Salata Δe vam u hladnjaku drΕΎati barem 1-2 dana, ali kako sam veΔ rekla, za najbolje rezultate odvojeno Δuvajte povrΔe i dresing.
