Ingredients

  • 16 oz dry Banza Rotini , or your choice of pasta
  • 1 C 227g Fat Free Greek Yogurt
  • 1/2 C 120g Light Mayo
  • 1/4 C 60g Stone Ground Mustard, or your choice of mustard
  • 4 oz jar Diced Pimentos

  • 1-2 Tbsp Chopped Fresh Parsley or Parsley Flakes

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta in salted water before draining. If you're using chickpea or a higher protein pasta, you can toss the drained pasta in 1/2-1 tablespoon of olive oil to prevent it from sticking together.
  • While the pasta cooks, dice the onion and bell pepper and add it to the bowl with the remaining ingredients. Stir well.
  • Add the cooked pasta to the mixture and gently fold everything together.
  • Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes. Serve cold.
