15 mins prepServes 6
This creamy and tasty pasta salad is packed with protein thanks to Greek yogurt, making it an indulgent yet healthier option. It's incredibly easy to make and perfect for a quick summer dinner with protein and veggies.
1. Cook pasta according to package instructions.
2. While the pasta is cooking, prepare your ingredients. Chop the whole head of broccoli (or use 12oz bag florets) small and finely dice the red onion.
3. Bring a separate pot of water to a boil, and add broccoli for 2 minutes until just starting to soften/blanch.
4. Add the cooked pasta, blanched broccoli, and shredded cheese to a large bowl and toss.
5. Mix in the red onion.
6. In a separate bowl, whisk together the plain Greek yogurt (or mayo, or a mix of both) with the sugar and apple cider vinegar to create the dressing.
7. Stir the dressing into the pasta and veggies mixture to coat everything.
8. Season with salt and pepper.
9. Give it one last good stir!
10. Serve as is, or chill in the fridge for a bit before serving.
