Pasta provides the base for this palate-pleasing salad. I lightened up a friend's version of this recipe, relates Janet Bernard from Twinsburg, Ohio. Seasoned with garden-fresh herbs, it tastes, looks and smalls wonderful. It's always a big hit at cookouts and family gatherings. Ingredients:
12 ounces small shell pasta |
1/2 cup fat-free plain yogurt |
1/2 cup reduced-fat mayonnaise |
1/2 cup minced fresh parsley |
1/2 cup minced fresh basil |
2 tablespoons olive oil |
3 green onions, sliced |
2 teaspoons lemon juice |
2 garlic cloves, peeled |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
1/8 teaspoon pepper |
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. Place in a serving bowl; set aside. In a blender or food processor, combine the next 10 ingredients; cover and process until smooth.
2. Pour over pasta and toss to coat. Sprinkle with Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately. Yield: 9 servings.
