Ingredients:

Serving

454 g rotini pasta
1/2 small red onion
2 small bell peppers, red
3 cups fresh spinach leaves
3/4 cup low-fat feta (smoked mozza would be good too, any sharp dry cheese)
1/2 cup light mayonnaise
3 tbsp lemon juice
3 tbsp poppy seeds
2 tbsp splenda artificial sweetener (or use real sugar)

Directions:

Cook the pasta al dente and run under cold water to stop it cooking.
While that's on the stove chop your red peppers and onions, crumble the feta, and whip the dressing together in a mixing cup.
Stir together in a big bowl, serve immediately or let the spinach wilt and have leftovers the next day. I like this with a simple bread and cheese side for a light lunch add a bottle of wine for the perfect summer picnic.
