Pasta salad

Salad and summer go together like hand in glove. And this particular salad is so versatile that it can be used as a side dish at a barbecue / braai / asado or as a meal all by itself. It is a real crowd-pleaser as the combination of flavours are awesome.
I like to use bow tie pasta as the curves allow for the sauce to be caught up, thereby ensuring that each mouthful is an explosion of flavour.
Boil the pasta until done and rinse in cold water immediately to stop the pasta from over cooking.
Meanwhile, prepare the following: peppers (whatever colours you can lay your hands on), onions and fresh cilantro / coriander, all finely diced.
In a mug, add a generous amount of mayonnaise, a teaspoon of sugar, freshly ground black pepper and milk to dilute the mayonnaise to a slightly runny consistency.
Now simply combine everything and allow to cool down in the fridge before serving.
