CUCUMBER RADISH YOGURT DILL PASTA SALAD

Ingredients
For the Salad
  • 1 cucumber (any kind!)
  • 1 bunch radishes
  • 2 cups cooked spiral pasta (may also use macaroni, shell, or penne pasta)
  • 1/4 cup chopped red onion
For the Yogurt Dill Dressing
  • ½ cup plain Greek yogurt
  • ½ lemon, juiced
  • 1 clove garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh dill, chopped (may use dried)
  • salt to taste
Instructions
  1. Wash the cucumber and radishes and thinly slice.
  2. Place sliced veggies in a colander with a large bowl or towel underneath and place in fridge for at least 2 hours to allow moisture to drain from the veggies. This step is important or too much liquid will end up in your salad.
  3. Mix together the dressing ingredients and keep cool in fridge until the cucumbers and radishes are ready.
  4. Before serving, pour the yogurt dressing over the cucumbers, radishes, pasta, and red onion and mix well. Taste and add additional salt if necessary.
  5. Sprinkle salad with additional dill to garnish (optional)
