Another Pasta Salad


Stolen from Confections from a Foodie Bride



Made-Over Pasta Salad
1/4 cup light mayo
1 cup reduced-fat sour cream
3 Tbsp cider vinegar
2 Tbsp creole mustard
3/4 tsp fresh dill, chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 tsp sugar (optional)*
1 tsp salt
1/4 tsp black pepper, freshly ground
2 cups farfalle, cooked, rinsed in cold water, and drained
2 chicken breasts, cooked, cooled and cubed
2 1/2 cups red grapes, halved
1/2 cup red bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 cup orange bell pepper, finely diced
1/2 cup green onions, chopped

* I prefer my dressings more tart, less creamy and sweet and didn’t use any sugar.

Whisk together mayo, sour cream, vinegar, mustard, dill weed, garlic and sugar (if using) in a small bowl. Taste for seasoning and sweetness and adjust sugar, salt, and pepper if necessary.

In a large bowl, assemble the remaining ingredients. Pour the dressing over the pasta mixture and toss well. Refrigerate for2-3 hours and serve cold.
