Instructions

To make the Honey Mustard Vinaigrette:

In a large bowl, whisk together the vinegar, oil, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, and pepper until smooth and well-blended.
Set aside while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

To make the Pasta Salad:

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil.
Reduce heat to a simmer, add the pasta and cook, stirring occasionally, until barely al dente, just tender.
Drain and add to the bowl with the prepared vinaigrette, tossing gently to coat.
Allow to cool to room temperature.
Toss in the summer sausage, cheese, cherry tomatoes, cornichons, eggs, red onions, chives, and parsley.
Adjust seasonings to taste, adding more salt and pepper if needed.
Serve immediately with an additional sprinkling of fresh herbs or even dried edible flower petals if desired.
