Ingredients

DESCRIPTION

We lightened up this pasta salad by replacing the usual mayonnaise dressing with Greek-style low-fat yogurt, which has been strained so that it's thick and rich-tasting. Prep and Cook Time: 35 minutes.



INGREDIENTS

  • 12 ounces whole-grain rotini, rotelle, or fusilli pasta
  • 1 pound (30 to 35 per lb.) peeled deveined shrimp, tails removed
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 1 medium red onion, chopped
  • 3 large garlic cloves, minced
  • About 3/4 tsp. salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon red chile flakes
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
  • 2 cups loosely packed baby spinach leaves
  • 1 can (15 oz.) chickpeas (garbanzos), drained and rinsed
  • 1 1/4 cups low-fat plain Greek-style yogurt (or whole-milk plain yogurt)
  • 1/3 cup chopped fresh mint leaves
  • 2 1/2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 teaspoons finely grated lemon zest
