Shrimp Pasta Salad


Ingredients:

  • 6-ounces rotini pasta
  • 1 cup frozen peas
  • 6 ounces green beans, cut into pieces
  • 2 vine-ripe tomatoes, halved vertically, then thinly sliced
  • 3/4 pound cooked shrimp
Dressing
  • 1/4 cup fat-free mayonnaise
  • 1/4 cup plain low fat yogurt
  • 1 tbsp nonfat milk
  • 1 tsp dried mixed herbs
  • Freshly ground black pepper

Preparation:

Cook pasta according to package instructions. Add peas to pasta water after two minutes of cooking time. Drain and cool pasta and peas. Cook green beans for 5 minutes in a pot of boiling water. Drain, then plunge into a bowl of iced water to retain color and stop cooking process. Drain again.

Assemble salad in a large bowl. Make creamy low-fat dressing by combining mayonnaise, yogurt, herbs and black pepper. Pour over salad and toss well. Add another tablespoon of nonfat milk if you prefer a thinner dressing.
