A healthy, tasty pasta salad made with no mayonnaise. Cooking time is really chilling time; preparation time includes time to cook pasta, as you can be slicing the carrots and onion at the same time. I think it tastes better made one day ahead so that flavors get a good chance to combine. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups cubed cooked turkey or 1 1/2 cups chicken |
1 cup thinly sliced carrot |
1 cup frozen peas, thawed |
1/4 cup chopped onion |
1 (8 ounce) package elbow macaroni, cooked, rinsed in cold water and drained |
2 tablespoons cider vinegar |
1/4 teaspoon thyme |
salt |
pepper |
2 tablespoons vegetable oil |
Directions:
1. Combine first five ingredients in a large bowl.
2. Combine vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in oil.
3. Toss dressing with pasta-turkey mixture until thoroughly combined.
4. Cover and chill at least 1/2 hour (but longer is better).
5. Toss again right before serving.
