I can say that by far and up until now, this is my favorite pasta salad. I realized that I wasn’t really a big fan of pasta salads. The idea of consuming cold pasta didn’t appeal to me and it was mostly because I didn’t know how to combine the flavors and textures properly. But this has notably changed and with this recipe I am playing with some ‘ness‘ – crunchiness, fatty tenderness, smoothieness and flavourness – lots of ness 😀
