Luncheon Pasta Salad Recipe
A refreshing light pasta salad for a main dish luncheon or summer potluck. I like small or medium shell pasta, but elbow, ditalini or bow tie pastas are good choices too.

Directions
- Cook pasta as per package directions to al dente stage. Rinse with cool water in colander and drain well.
- Cook peas in small amount of water until just tender; strain off water then rinse with cool water to stop the cooking, then drain again thoroughly.
- Place pasta and peas in large bowl. Add celery, onions, and olives.
- In small bowl blend together yogurt, mayonnaise, mustard, dill weed, salt, and pepper. Add dressing to pasta and toss lightly and thoroughly to coat.
- Taste and adjust seasonings. (A little red pepper flakes or dash of Tabasco is good here.)
- Garnish or serve with tomatoes, cheese slices and/or lettuce.
