Meanwhile stir the mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, 2 tbsp pickle liquid, sugar, 1 pinch salt and pepper in a large bowl until smooth.

• 100 g Yogurt

Rinse the penne and peas under cold water until cool, and drain well.

Add the penne, peas, bell pepper and pickles to the dressing and mix well.

Let the salad sit for about 10 minutes so the penne can soak up the dressing.

Season with salt, pepper and a splash of pickle liquid. Stir in half the chives and sprinkle the rest on top.
