"Yesterday my sis and me really craved some pasta salad, so we came up with this little something. It features veggies, cheese, an egg, sour cream and mediterranian spices. We really enjoyed it a lot and hope that you will, too! If you are looking for something more healthy, feel free to use fat reduced sour cream or low fat-yoghurt, fat-reduced cheese and more veggies."

Another clear hit for Lalaloula (and her sister)! I used high fibre white pasta and everything else as listed. I even picked the peas out of a frozen mixed veggie bag to follow the instructions, since your recipes are always so terrific! This was so good and my son and I had this for lunch 2 days in a row. I will enjoy this again for sure. Made for PRMR. Thanks Lalaloula! :D

Yummy! I found a fun pasta that had all different colors and shapes to make this. I made as directed but used a smoked gouda cheese that I had on hand for a really nice flavor addition. Thanks Lalaloula for a simple but awesome salad. Made for your Tic Tac Toe win.

Although I'm not big on whole-wheat pasta, I was intrigued with Andi's review & decided to try it! Big success, & something I'll be working with again! I also used a small amount of lemon pepper instead of the S&P, & we were very pleased with the results! Will keep your recipe around! [Made & reviewed in Make My Recipe tag]

This is a fresh lovely pasta salad, that is light tasting, especially using fat-reduced greek yogurt. The taste just is wonderful, since I made great tasting baby a day ago, and let it sit to really accumulate and meld all the wonderful flavors. I added the salt when the pasta came out of the water, and let is soak in, thus not having to add more then necessary. A great way to use up all those fresh ingredients. I also used whole-wheat rotini, so it caught up all the taste! Made for *Everyday is a Holiday* April 2010
