Here's an easy summer salad for potlucks, ladies luncheons and picnics. Tricolor spiral pasta and broccoli florets are coated with a mild dressing and bits of bacon. Each serving is 3/4 cup. Diabetic Exchanges: 2 starch, 1 fat. This recipe is from Margie Shaw. I found it in Light & Tasty magazine. I have not tried this recipe, but I'm posting it for safe keeping. Ingredients:
16 ounces cooked tri-color spiral pasta, rinsed and drained |
3 cups broccoli florets |
1/3 cup finely chopped onion |
1/2 cup low-fat mayonnaise |
2 tablespoons nonfat milk |
1 ounce reduced fat ranch dressing mix (1 envelope) |
1/2 teaspoon salt |
6 bacon, strips cooked and crumbled |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine the pasta, broccoli and onion. In a small bowl, combine mayonnaise, milk, salad dressing mix and salt. Add to pasta mixture; toss to coat evenly.
2. Cover and refrigerate for at least 1 hour. Just before serving, stir in bacon.
