An easy and tasty pasta salad for a complete meal.

We should think more often about pasta in salads. It's fast and it can be a balanced summer meal for lunch or dinner. The proof with this turkey pasta recipe.

To prepare this summer pasta salad for 4 people you will need:

--> 400 g of pasta (penne rigate)
--> 2 tomatoes
--> 1/2 cucumber
--> 1/2 bell pepper
--> 2 cutlets or 250 g diced turkey

Preparation

1) Cook, drain the pasta, pass it under cold water to cool and pour them into a large salad bowl.

2) For those who use turkey breasts instead of ready-made cubes, cook the meat without fat, cut it into cubes and add it to the pasta.

3) Cut the tomatoes, the cucumbers (with or without the skin) and the peppers into cubes and also pour them into the salad bowl. Put the wrapped dish in the fridge for at least 1 hour :the salad must be eaten very fresh.

At the last moment, flavor the salad with a vinaigrette made up of 1 teaspoon of curry, 1 teaspoon of mustard, 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of vinegar. You can also sprinkle the dish with a little grated Gruyère cheese for the little gourmands, but it's optional!

Bon appetit!
