Family Pasta Salad

This is another great salad for bbq's and potlucks. Super easy, and always a hit at get-togethers! You light mayo and non-fat yogurt if you want to lighten it up a bit.

Ingredients:

1 package (16 oz) uncooked cavatappi pasta (I use bowtie or spiral pasta too)

1 package (8 oz) mild cheddar cheese, cut into 1/2" cubes

1 cup frozen peas, thawed

1/2 cup sliced celery

1/4 cup finely chopped onion

1 small carrot, grated

1 cup mayonnaise

1 container (8 oz) plain yogurt

1/2 tsp. salt

1/8 tsp. ground black pepper

Cook pasta, drain. Place pasta in bowl; add cheese, peas, celery, onion and carrot, mix gently. Mix mayonnaise, yogurt, salt and pepper in a bowl, then stir into pasta. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours before serving.
