agassifan cauliflower pasta salad with lemon & mint
Submitted by: AGASSIFANIntroduction
The point of this salad is to have a pasta salad with a LOT of veggies to stretch the pasta experience. AND has a healthy dressing that was yogurt based to keep the calories down.I was amazed at how tasty it is...the fresh mint and lemon really made it POP! And the dressing was really good...I used regular yogurt (not non fat) but I'm sure you could use either.
I think using green onions would have been even better but I didn't have any on hand, so I used a vadalia onion. The point of this salad is to have a pasta salad with a LOT of veggies to stretch the pasta experience. AND has a healthy dressing that was yogurt based to keep the calories down.
