CREAMY PASTA SALAD WITH BACON AND PEAS

There's nothing like a cold pasta shell that's coated in a luscious, silky blanket of bliss. But instead of full-on mayo, I swapped in half Greek yogurt for some subtle tang. It is so good. Perfect for a neighborhood potluck. Divine for quick lunches throughout the week.

Steps:

  • Boil the pasta until al dente, then drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
  • Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Then crumble or chop into small pieces.
  • Combine the pasta with the bacon, carrots, peas, onions, mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl and toss until coated and fully mixed together. Season generously with a pinch of salt and give another toss.
  • Garnish with the parsley leaves if using. Cover and chill the pasta salad for about an hour.

2 cups medium pasta shells
6 strips bacon, halved
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 red onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Coarse salt
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish, optional

CREAMY PASTA SALAD

"I love creating new and tasty foods, including this popular side-dish salad," Lori Menard writes from Omaha, Nebraska. "I make it often for my husband and me, especially during the summer months. If you add some cooked chicken breast, you can make this a meal for two."
