Makarna Salatasi - Turkish Pasta Salad

Ingredients:

- 1 pound elbow macaroni

- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 cup carrots, diced
- ½ cup potatoes, diced
- ½ cup frozen peas
- ½ cup fresh dill, chopped
- ¼ cup dill pickles, chopped
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 cup greek yogurt, thinned with water (see the note below)
- ¼ cup mayonnaise
- 1 tablespoon olive oil

Preparation:

Cook elbow macaroni according to package instructions. Drain and rinse immediately under cold water. Drizzle 1 tablespoon olive oil over it and stir gently so that they don’t stick one another when you are preparing the other ingredients.

Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to boil and cook diced carrots and potatoes for 15 minutes or until potatoes are tender. Add in the frozen peas in the last 2 minutes. Rinse immediately under cold water and drain.

In a large bowl, put cooked macaroni and cooked vegetables, chopped fresh dill and dill pickles. Drizzle over 1 tablespoon olive oil. Add in salt, mayonnaise and yogurt. Toss until well combined.


NOTESMacaroni

If the yogurt you are using is too thick, thin it out with 2-3 tablespoons water before adding it on your salad.
