Equipment

Ingredients

12 oz Bowtie Pasta uncooked
1 cup Frozen Corn thawed
1 cup Frozen Peas thawed
½ Red onion dices
1 cup Cherry tomatoes halved
1 cup English cucumber quartered about ¾ of the cucumber.
3 mini sweet peppers dices
10 oz. Tuna 2 cans drained
⅓ cup Greek yogurt plain
⅓ cup Mayonnaise
1 Tablespoon White vinegar
1 Tablespoon Creole mustard
2 Cloves garlic minced

Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the pasta from cooking. Transfer to a large bowl.
While the pasta is cooking chop and prepare the other ingredients.
In a small mixing bowl add the Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, vinegar, Creole mustard, and garlic. Mix well with a whisk.
Taste to make sure you're satisfied with the seasoning. Add salt and pepper.
Add the corn, peas, red onion, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, sweet peppers and tuna to the pasta in the bowl.
Drizzle the dressing all over the salad ingredients and mix until the ingredients are covered with the dressing.
Refrigerate so that the flavors can meld. (You may serve right away but it tastes better chilled enhancing the flavors.)
Serve as a side or as a light lunch or dinner.
