Healthy Salad Recipes

Ingredients:

1 lb mostaccioli or ziti or other medi, u, m, pasta shape,
1 small cucumber
8 fresh strawberries, washed, hulled and finel
2 tbsp coarsely chopped fresh mint
2 cup finely diced pineapple (fresh)
1/4 tsp salt
1/2 cup low fat yogurt
1/4 cup non-fat sour cream
1/4 cup orange juice

Instructions:

Prepare pasta according to package directions. While pasta is
cooking, peel the cucumber, trim the ends and cut it in half
lengthwise. Scoop out the seeds with a spoon and cut the cucumber
into 1/4-inch pieces.

Combine the cucumber, strawberries, pineapple and salt in a small
bowl and stir until blended. (This salsa can be made and refrigerated
up to one day in advance.)

In a small bowl, mix together yogurt, sour cream, orange juice and
brown sugar or honey.

When pasta is done, drain well and rinse under cold water. Drain
again and transfer to a mixing bowl. Add the yogurt mixture and mix
well. Toss in the fruit salsa, season to taste and serve.
