CREAMY PASTA SALAD WITH BACON AND PEAS

Creamy Pasta Salad with Bacon and Peas image

There's nothing like a cold pasta shell that's coated in a luscious, silky blanket of bliss. But instead of full-on mayo, I swapped in half Greek yogurt for some subtle tang. It is so good. Perfect for a neighborhood potluck. Divine for quick lunches throughout the week.

Ingredients

2 cups medium pasta shells
6 strips bacon, halved
1 carrot, finely chopped
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/2 red onion, finely diced (about 1/2 cup)
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/4 cup Greek yogurt
1 lemon, zested and juiced
Coarse salt
1/4 cup chopped flat-leaf parsley, for garnish, optional

Steps:

Boil the pasta until al dente, then drain and rinse under cold water until cool.
Meanwhile, cook the bacon in a nonstick skillet over medium heat until crispy, 5 to 7 minutes. Remove to a paper towel-lined plate. Then crumble or chop into small pieces.
Combine the pasta with the bacon, carrots, peas, onions, mayonnaise, yogurt, lemon zest and juice in a large bowl and toss until coated and fully mixed together. Season generously with a pinch of salt and give another toss.
Garnish with the parsley leaves if using. Cover and chill the pasta salad for about an hour.
