  • Place your 1 1/2 cups of peas into the strainer you are going to pour your pasta onto ( this is a fun tip to steam the peas right then & there!) Then cook your pasta per directions on bag/box then drain the pasta in the strainer with the peas. Rinse with cool water & set aside.

Then in a small bowl add in your salt, onion flakes, garlic powder, cane sugar, paprika, pepper, celery seed, turmeric and pepper. Whisk together until fully combined. Then add 1 tbsp of seasoning into the Greek Yogurt and Mayo Mixture. Now whisk that until throughly combined.
  • Then pour 1/2 to 3/4 of the dressing & continue to toss with the spoons. Reserve the rest for tomorrows left overs!
