LEMON SHRIMP PASTA SALAD
LEMON SHRIMP PASTA SALAD
2½ cups cooked pasta, rinsed and cooled
1½ cups small cooked shrimp, peeled and de-veined
½ cup thinly sliced red pepper
½ cup julienne fresh snow peas
FOR THE DRESSING
⅔ cup plain Greek yogurt
zest of one lemon, finely grated
juice of one lemon
2 cloves finely minced garlic
4 tbsp olive oil
1½ tbsp honey
salt and pepper to season
2 tbsp chopped chives
Cook the pasta to al dente and rinse well with cold water.
Leave the pasta to drain well while you prepare the dressing and the rest of the salad.
For the dressing
Whisk together all of the ingredients and let it sit for 20 minutes if time allows. This allows the lemon zest to infuse flavor into the dressing.
If you like a thinner dressing you can always add a little more lemon juice or even a little skim milk.
Toss together the dressing with the shrimp, pasta, peppers and snow peas.
