  • To prepare the pasta, we will put 4 liters of water to heat; once it starts boiling, we will add two tablespoons of salt and 10 ml of vegetable oil, as well as 4 dried bay leaves and the pasta; let it boil for about 5 minutes and check if it is cooked but still firm. We take it off the heat, drain it, remove the bay leaves, and set aside. To prevent it from sticking, we add two tablespoons of olive oil and mix.
  • Remember that all our vegetables must be washed and disinfected. We will cut the spinach and lettuce into very thin strips and set aside. We will peel the cucumber, cut it in half, and use a spoon to remove the seeds, then cut it into long strips and finally into cubes, and also set aside.
  • For our dressing, we will put the yogurt, cream cheese, and fennel sprig in the blender until we obtain a homogeneous mixture; if the flavor is too mild, we add a pinch of salt. We will mix this dressing with our pasta, ham, and panela cheese, and set aside.
  • To assemble our salad, we will mix our vegetables and place them at the base of our container, then place the pasta mixture with dressing on top and decorate with a sprig of fennel, and enjoy.
