Italian pasta salad with honey mustard dressing

Summertime is barbecue time, my favorite Italian pasta salad should not be missed! Because what would be the juiciest steak or the crunchiest sausage from the grill without delicious side dishes? My husband would be with a piece of meat and fresh baguette already in the seventh grill heaven. For me, the trappings of BBQs are just part of it. In addition to bread, a green salad, grilled vegetables with feta, homemade herb butter and a good bottle of wine, I love pasta salads in all sorts of variations. Yesterday we spontaneously held a small barbecue in the garden, for which I once again prepared my absolute favorite recipe - a Italian pasta salad .

The classic pasta salad with mayonnaise, meat sausage and cucumber, which we all know from our childhood, gets real competition with this light Italian version.

The super-summer salad is also cooked really fast.
