This is an improvisation on two recipes that I found on 'Zaar (#78690 and #211843). It makes a great summer dinner. You can substitute lowfat or nonfat sour cream for the mayo if you want something a bit lighter. Ingredients:
1 (7 ounce) container low-fat greek yogurt |
1 cup mayonnaise |
2 teaspoons dill |
1 teaspoon salt |
1/2 teaspoon pepper |
2 teaspoons brown sugar |
1 tablespoon lemon juice |
1 teaspoon tabasco sauce |
4 -6 green onions, chopped |
1 medium cucumber, chopped |
8 ounces wood-smoked salmon, cubed |
1 lb spiral pasta or 1 lb shell pasta |
Directions:
1. Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and chill by running it under cold tap water or, if you have time, putting it in a covered bowl in the refrigerator.
2. Combine the yogurt, mayo, dill, salt, pepper, brown sugar, lemon juice and tabasco until well-blended (I use a kitchen mixer for this).
3. Toss the dressing with the green onions, cucumber, salmon and pasta, (I use a mixer for this, too) and serve immediately.
