Hi Friends! Glad you stopped by. Comin' at ya today with another salad recipe. I have been getting creative and as always, want to share with you!
This is so easy to throw together
Ingredients
Salad
- 8 oz orecchiette pasta or other short pasta
- 1 cup corn kernels cooked
- 1 red bell pepper diced
- 4 slices bacon cooked and sliced
- fresh cilantro chopped
- salt and pepper to taste
Salad dressing
- ⅓ cup basil pesto store-bought or homemade
- 3 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
- 2 tablespoons lime juice freshly squeezed
Instructions
Cook pasta
- Bring a pot of water to boil. Add pasta and cook according to package instructions. Drain.
- While the pasta is cooking, proceed with the rest of the recipe.
Make salad dressing
- In a mason jar, whisk together basil pesto with Greek yogurt, mayonnaise, and freshly squeezed lime juice.
- If your dressing is too thick, you can thin it out by adding more Greek yogurt, small amounts of water, or extra lime juice (or lemon juice). Or, combination of what I just listed.
Assembly
- In a large bowl, combine cooked and drained pasta, cooked corn kernels, diced bell pepper, and chopped cooked bacon. Mix to combine.
- Distribute into individual salad bowls. Top with the salad dressing. Sprinkle the chopped fresh cilantro on top.ENJOY!
