Ingredients
 

  • ½ cup dry elbow pasta
  • 1 stalk celery, diced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley, chopped
  • 1 green onion, minced
  • 6 cherry tomatoes, halved, then quartered
  • ¼ cup low skim mozzarella cheese, diced
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 2 teaspoons plain Greek yogurt
  • ¼ teaspoon dried mustard
  • ½ teaspoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 teaspoon pimentos
  • 1 tablespoon black olives, chopped
  • 1 teaspoon sweet relish
  • 1 pinch salt and pepper, each

Instructions
 

  • Bring one quart of salted water to a boil and cook elbow pasta about 1 minute less than package instructions for a firm pasta--about 6 minutes. Take care not to overcook.
    1/2 cup dry elbow pasta
  • While pasta is cooking, prep celery, parsley, onion, tomato and mozzarella cheese.
    1 stalk celery
    1 tablespoon fresh flat-leaf parsley
    1 green onion
    6 cherry tomatoes
    1/4 cup low skim mozzarella cheese
  • In a small bowl, mix mayonnaise, yogurt, mustard, vinegar, pimentos, olives, relish, salt and pepper.
    2 tablespoons mayonnaise
    2 teaspoons plain Greek yogurt
    1/4 teaspoon dried mustard
    1/2 teaspoon apple cider vinegar
    1 teaspoon pimentos
    1 tablespoon black olives
    1 teaspoon sweet relish
    1 pinch salt and pepper
  • Drain cooked pasta and rinse in cold water. Add mayonnaise mix along with the prepped vegetables and cheese and gently combine all well.
  • Allow to sit covered in refrigerator at least 30 minutes so ingredients get a chance to meld.
