Ingredients
-
macaroni or pasta
pine nuts
peas
light salad dressing, oil/vinegar based, not creamy
Directions
Boil pasta according to package directions. Drain.
Boil or steam frozen peas to desired doneness (I like mine a little firm). Drain.
When pasta and peas cool a little, mix together in a bowl. Add pine nuts, salt and pepper to taste, and you could also add whatever other seasonings you like (Italian blend, etc.). I like oregano.
Pour in 2 Tbsp. light salad dressing of your choice (I like Greek style) and mix well.
You could also add diced red onion, sliced black olives, sliced or whole grape/cherry tomatoes, or add crumbled low-fat or fat-free feta cheese for variety.
Enjoy!
