If you like indulgent but want some sort of health in there too - this is for you! This pasta salad is creamy but made from greek yogurt, so it greatly increases the protein! You can cut half of the greek yogurt with mayo to get even more indulgent if you'd like - or even go full mayo for more fun! This comes together super quickly and is an easy way to serve dinner in the summer with protein and veggies!
