CREAMY FUSILLI SALAD

This creamy fusilli salad is light with a slightly tangy taste. The creamy dressing coats the pasta and vegetables and is preferably served cold.

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Tante's pasta

  • 1 1/2 cups light mayo

  • 1 1/2 tbsp beef bouillon paste If you use beef boullion cubes, dissolve the cubes in 2 tablespoons hot milk or buttermilk before mixing

  • 1/2 cup light sour cream

  • 1/4 cup buttermilk, possibly more for thinning out

  • 3 tbsp white wine vinegar

  • 1/2 tsp kosher salt

  • 1 large red bell pepper, diced and 1 large green pepper, diced

  • 1/2 cup chopped red onion and 4 cups halved cherry tomatoes

Method

Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Season with salt. Add the Tante's pasta and give it a stir. Cook until aldente (it should have a slight bite to it). Drain and rinse under cold water until chilled.

Step 2

Add mayo and beef bouillon to a large bowl. Whisk until smooth. Add the sour cream, buttermilk, vinegar, and salt. Whisk until smooth. Add the pasta. Toss until completely coated. If needed, add a little bit of buttermilk to thin the dressing out. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Step 3

Add in peppers, red onion, and tomatoes. Toss. Again, season with salt and pepper. Serve right away or chill until ready to serve. If you do chill it, before serving, give it a stir, if needed, add a little bit of buttermilk to thin out the dressing as needed.
