Not a salad, but an instruction on how to eat in the heat, when you don't want anything hot and heavy. Pasta plays the role of a carbohydrate component, it is colored by tomatoes, pesto sauce and yogurt. All in all - a light, juicy, satiating and refreshing snack, after which no "second course" is needed. For the full holiday experience, it is important that the pesto sauce is made here and now, in a kind of rough village spirit, if you have a blender, it will take no more than two minutes. With a greenish fine-grained mass from a tin, it will turn out completely wrong.
