Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/4 cup lemon juice + 1 tsp lemon zest
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil (I used Early Harvest Greek extra virgin olive oil)
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tbsp dried oregano (Greek oregano preferred)
1 tsp sweet Spanish paprika
Salt and pepper
2 cups cooked elbow pasta (from 1 cup dry pasta)
1 green pepper, chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup chopped red onions
1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives, halved or chopped
12 oz cooked large shrimp
2-3 avocados, pitted and chopped (dress avocado with lemon juice to avoid browning)
1 cup chopped parsley
1 cup chopped fresh mint leaves, stems removed
4 oz Greek feta cheese, cubed or crumbled

Steps:

  • Make the lemony dressing. In a large bowl, whisk lemon juice, zest, extra virgin olive oil, garlic, spices, salt and pepper.
  • Now build the salad. Add the pasta to the same bowl. Add remaining ingredients except the feta. Toss well to combine, then add feta and give just a gentle toss (see note below, if you want to make this pasta ahead of time.)

Categories     Main Course     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 15

8 ounces uncooked whole wheat elbow macaroni (or similar small pasta, such as mini shells (about 2 cups uncooked macaroni))
1 pound frozen salad shrimp (thawed and patted dry, or use roughly chopped peeled and deveined cooked shrimp)
1 cup diced celery (about 2 stalks)
1 red bell pepper (cored and cut into a 1/4-inch dice)
1 cup frozen peas (thawed)
2 green onions (finely chopped (about 1/4 cup))
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh dill
2/3 cup nonfat plain Greek yogurt
2 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (from about 1/2 lemon)
2 teaspoons honey
1 teaspoon white vinegar
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon kosher salt (plus additional to taste)
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper (plus additional to taste)
1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta to al dente according to the package instructions. Drain in a colander, then rinse with cold water to stop the cooking. Shake off as much water as possible. Let the colander with the pasta sit in the sink or on a towel to continue draining while you prepare the rest of the salad.
  • In a small bowl or large measuring cup, whisk together the dressing ingredients: Greek yogurt, lemon juice, honey, white vinegar, Dijon, salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
  • In a large serving bowl, place the shrimp, celery, bell pepper, peas, green onion, and dill. Shake the pasta once more, then add it to the bowl. Drizzle with the dressing and stir gently to combine. Taste and adjust the seasoning as desired.
  • If time allows, place the pasta in the refrigerator and chill for 1 hour prior to serving. Enjoy directly from the fridge or at room temperature.
