- Drain and rinse with cold water, so your pasta doesn’t stick
- In a separate bowl add mayonnaise, Greek yoghurt and combine

- Finally, add the cooked pasta in the salad and combine
- It can be served immediately or chilled first to allow the flavours to meld slightly.

Notes
- Note 1 – Al dente refers to when the pasta is cooked just enough to retain a somewhat firm texture with a bit of a bite
- Note 2 - You can substitute any other vegetables you choose for the ones that are used in my recipe. Peas are a popular alternative to sweetcorn.
