Creamy Pesto Pasta Salad
  1. Cook pasta according to package directions adding salt to the water

  2. Rather than rinse with cool water, drain and toss hot pasta with olive oil and lemon juice, spread on a sheet pan to cool while you prep the veggies and dressing.

  3. Make the dressing: mix together pesto, greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice until smooth and creamy. Salt and pepper to taste.

  4. Mix pasta, olives, fresh mozzarella and creamy pesto dressing. (At this point you can refrigerate up to a day ahead of serving).

  5. Add fresh tomatoes and basil just before serving and garnish of choice.
