Italian Pasta Salad

Italian Pasta Salad
Recipe Tip
Ovations for Olives
Replacing saturated fats with unsaturated fats from olives may help lower blood cholesterol. But fats are high in calories so keep portions small.
Success
Make sure you thoroughly drain the cooked pasta. Excess water will dilute the yogurt sauce.
Variation
Love cheese? Add 1/3 cup grated Romano cheese for an ultimate cheesy flavor.
Toss a zesty Italian yogurt dressing with tomatoes, zucchini and pasta for a colorful and delicious salad. From eatbetteramerica.
