About This Recipe

"A healthy, tasty pasta salad made with no mayonnaise. "Cooking time" is really chilling time; preparation time includes time to cook pasta, as you can be slicing the carrots and onion at the same time. I think it tastes better made one day ahead so that flavors get a good chance to combine."

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups cubed cooked turkey or 1 1/2 cups chicken
1 cup thinly sliced carrot
1 cup frozen peas, thawed
1/4 cup chopped onion
1 (8 ounce) packages elbow macaroni, cooked, rinsed in cold water and drained

Dressing

2 tablespoons cider vinegar
1/4 teaspoon thyme
salt
pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil

Directions

Combine first five ingredients in a large bowl.
Combine vinegar, thyme, salt and pepper in a small bowl. Slowly whisk in oil.
Toss dressing with pasta-turkey mixture until thoroughly combined.
Cover and chill at least 1/2 hour (but longer is better).
Toss again right before serving.

"I did make this salad using some cooked chicken breast from the freezer! The dressing worked beautifully & with the veggies in it, the salad was very satisfying! Definitely a make-again kind of recipe! Thanks for sharing it! [made & reviewed in Zaar Chef Alphabet Soup tag]"
