Summer Pasta Salad with a Creamy Poppy Seed Dressing


Tonight for dinner I wanted something easy. I had some left over Zucchini and some Yellow Squash from our neighborly Vegetable Fairy. This was super easy had all the ingredients on hand, and I just baked up some Chicken Breasts as the protein in the toaster oven with salt pepper and random spices. 


Ingredients:
1 lb Pasta, any shape that you have on hand
2 Large Tomatoes, largely diced
1 Medium Zucchini, sliced in rounds then quartered
1 Yellow Squash, sliced in rounds then quartered
1 cup Carrot, shredded
1/4 cup Parsley, minced
1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
1/2 cup Poppy Seed Dressing
Salt
Pepper
Garlic Powder
Onion Powder

For the Creamy Dressing:
Combine the Greek Yogurt, the Poppy Seed Dressing, Parsley, and spices in a bowl and set aside. 



1. Boil Pasta, set aside to cool
2. Dice Veggies
3. Shred Carrots
4. Combine Vegetables, Pasta, and Dressing. Chill until you are ready to serve. 



Dinner is served! Easy Breezy meal that took no effort at all! Super nice to have during a heat wave, wish I had whipped it up last week. It was a beautiful day today even got to sit outside tonight until the bugs started to bite!

A great way to serve this would be in mason jars for an on the go picnic idea!

Enjoy ^.^
