A creamy pasta salad is light and somewhat tart. When you want something cool on a sunny summer day, this is ideal.
There’s just enough dressing on this pasta salad to enhance the flavor of the noodles and vegetables without overdosing them.
The nicest thing is that it’s handmade! That implies that it’s far superior to any pasta salad you may purchase in the shop.
This creamy pasta salad is a hit, whether you eat it by yourself or serve it to friends and family.
The pasta salad is lovingly and carefully prepared at home with the freshest ingredients.
Cook Pasta:
Boil the penne pasta until it’s just the correct consistency—not too soft or too hard. Once drained, let it cool.
Finely chop all the veggies into tiny bits. If using frozen peas, bring them to a quick boil and allow them to cool.
Combine the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise and all other ingredients in a bowl. This creates the creamy dressing.
Over the pasta and vegetables, drizzle the creamy dressing. Toss everything thoroughly.
Rest and Serve: Refrigerate the salad for at least one hour. This facilitates the blending of flavors.
For an extra protein boost and a heartier salad, add grilled chicken breasts or thighs.
