Ingredients
- 454 g pasta (such as fusilli or penne) (16 oz)
- 120 ml mayonnaise (1/2 cup)
- 120 ml Greek yogurt (1/2 cup)
- 60 ml fresh lemon juice (1/4 cup)
- Zest of 1 lemon
- 30 g fresh dill, chopped (1 oz)
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the pasta by following the directions on the package until it reaches a firm yet tender consistency. Drain and rinse the pasta under cold water to halt the cooking.
- In a large bowl, blend together the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, lemon zest, dill, garlic, salt, and pepper. Stir thoroughly until the dressing is smooth and fully mixed.
- Transfer the cooled pasta into the bowl with the dressing. Carefully stir until the pasta is evenly covered with the creamy dressing.
- Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and place it in the fridge for a minimum of 1 hour to let the flavors blend together.
- Before you serve, give the pasta salad a final mix and adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper if necessary. For a fresh finish, garnish with extra dill and lemon zest.
Notes
- Enhance the zesty taste by incorporating an additional squeeze of fresh lemon juice into the dressing before combining it with the pasta.
- Try out alternative herbs like parsley or basil to give a unique twist to the traditional dill flavor.
- For a touch of spiciness, mix in a pinch of red pepper flakes or a dash of hot sauce into the dressing.
