Notes
- There are 8 Blue Plan SmartPoints in a serving of this .
- Air Fryer Hamburgers.
- Instant Pot Whole Chicken.
- Crunchy Air Fryer Fish.
- Add in 1- 2 teaspoons of olive oil and toss to prevent the pasta from sticking together.
- Short on time? Stick the cooked pasta inside your freezer to cool it down faster.
- I used Farfalle pasta, but any pasta shape works for this recipe. Or make trying making this Dill Pickle Salad using whole wheat pasta or gluten free pasta instead.
- To make my salad healthier, I made the dressing using half fat mayo. But if you prefer, you can make it with regular mayonnaise.
