Today we have for you an idea for a quick and tasty snack between meals – chorizo pasta salad. Our salad based on pasta will be perfect. It is quite light and at the same time very filling thanks to both pasta and chorizo.
Chorizo – it is a traditional Spanish sausage made of pork. It has a quite characteristic taste and smell due to sweet smoked and dried paprika (pimiento) inside.
So let’s do it!
Ingredients for chorizo pasta salad:
- 70 g of penne type pasta
- 80 g chorizo sausage
- a handful of lettuce mix with rocket salad
- 100 g cherry tomatoes
- 50 g green olives
- half of a red pepper
- a handful of cashew nuts or pumpkin seeds
- 1/4 of red onion
- salad dressing based on balsamic vinegar, we used Monini
Method:
- Cook penne pasta in salted water. Strain.
- Put a rinsed and dried salad mix on the plate.
- Peel the chorizo sausage, cut into slices. Fry on low heat keeping stirring every time. It must fry for a bit and change the colour.
- Set aside from the heat, add the pasta, mix it up.
- Put on a plate with lettuce.
- Add chopped cherry tomatoes, pepper, olives and chopped onions.
- Garnish with cashew nuts or pumpkin seeds.
- Add salt and pepper and a sauce based on balsamic vinegar, we used Monini. Enjoy your meal!
