This hearty salad has some of our favorite early spring produce: radishes, spring mix, herbs, and peas. Joined by this colorful mix is a fresh dollop of protein-rich Greek yogurt, briny olives, toasty pine nuts, and chewy-tender foglie d'ulivo pasta. A simple double citrus vinaigrette of Meyer Lemon olive oil and Citrus Oregano balsamic ties it all together.
Ingredients
-
1 cup dry Foglie d’Ulivo pasta
- 2 cups spring mix, rinsed and dried
- ⅔ cup Greek yogurt (2% or whole, preferably)
-
2 tablespoons Citrus Oregano white balsamic vinegar
-
4 tablespoons Meyer Lemon olive oil, divided
- ¼ cup fresh herbs such as basil, dill, or mint, chopped or torn
- ¼ cup pine nuts
- ¼ cup roughly chopped Kalamata or other briny olive
- 4-5 small radishes, thinly sliced
- Fresh snap or snow peas, to garnish
Directions
Mix fresh herbs and Greek yogurt in a small bowl and set aside in the refrigerator to chill.
Cook pasta according to package instructions, drain, and toss with a small amount of Meyer Lemon olive oil.
Toast dry pine nuts in a small pan over medium heat until fragrant and set aside.
Spread chilled herby Greek yogurt in a thin layer on the bottom of the plate.
Combine remaining olive oil and the balsamic vinegar in a small bowl and whisk until blended.
Top yogurt with one cup spring mix, half of the cooked pasta, and half of the chopped olives. Drizzle with half of the vinaigrette.
