Kitchen appliances and utensils:sharp knife; deep plate; cutting board; tablespoon; tea spoon; a knife for vegetables (or a grater); colander; garlic clover; saucer.

Ingredients

Step cooking

1. We take 2 tomatoes (medium size), sweet pepper (1 pc.), Parsley and dill (½ bunch each) and wash thoroughly under running water. Tomatoes (2 pcs.) Are cut in half and chopped into thin slices. This should be done with a sharp knife to maximize the integrity of the tomato and not to mash it. Pour into a plate.
   
2. At the same time, boil water in a pan on the stove. When the water boils, salt a little and pour the pasta. Cook until tender. Bell peppers (1 pc.) Are cut into two parts, peeled and cut into thin strips. Add to the tomatoes in a plate.
   
3. We take 200-220 g of ham and cut it into strips. Also add to the plate.
   
4. Hard cheese (120-150 g) is cut into salad with thin rags, using a vegetable knife or rubbed with a grater.
   
5. ½ bunch parsley and ½ bunch dill should be finely chopped and add to the plate to the rest of the ingredients.
   
6. When the pasta is cooked, pour them into a colander (a piece of kitchen utensils in the form of a small pot or ladle with holes in the bottom) and rinse with water. When all the water from the pasta has escaped and they have cooled, add them to our salad.
   
7. We start preparing salad dressings. In a saucer, pour 4-5 tbsp. l olive oil. We squeeze 1-2 cloves of garlic through garlic press into olive oil.
   
8. Also in olive oil add dried basil (1/2 tsp), salt and pepper to taste.
   
9. All mix well and pour salad dressing. It remains only to mix, and the salad is ready. Enjoy your meal.
   

Decoration methods and serving options

• An important rule in the preparation of salads is that you should not mix warm products with cold products. Due to this, the salad can quickly deteriorate.
• In our case, the pasta needs to be allowed to cool before being added to the salad.
• Basically, salads are usually consumed immediately after cooking (no later than 30 minutes), but at home it is easier to cook something in advance, or a larger portion for the next time. In this case, the salad can be stored in the refrigerator (no more than a day), tightly covered with a lid or sealed with cling film. Be prepared for the fact that he can let the juice a little, and the appearance will deteriorate.
• If you plan to serve such a salad on the festive table or just want to do everything beautifully, you can decorate it with lettuce leaves (put them on a plate and top with salad) or vegetables that are in the salad and have a bright color (tomatoes, peppers) .
