Low Fat Cucumber Pepper Pasta Salad Recipes

GREEK PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the penne, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Set aside. Combine pasta, tomatoes, onion, green and red peppers, cucumber, olives, and feta cheese in a large bowl. Pour vinaigrette over the pasta and mix together. Cover and chill for 3 hours before serving.

LOW-FAT CUCUMBER PEPPER PASTA SALAD

• Stir cucumbers, green bell peppers, banana peppers, jalapeno peppers, Colby cheese, and Italian-style salad dressing in a bowl; add cooled pasta and mix until pasta is coated completely with dressing.

CUCUMBER AND TOMATO PASTA SALAD RECIPE

Steps:

• First of all place your pasta and eggs in a large saucepan and cover in water from the tap. This means you can cook your pasta and eggs together and save on a bit on your gas or electricity bill!
• Place the saucepan on the hob over a moderate heat and bring to a rolling boil. Follow the instructions on the packet of pasta to predict cooking time but both the pasta and eggs should be cooked in about 10 minutes.
• Once both ingredients are cooked through, it's time to drain the pasta and eggs into a colander, then pour over some cold water to cool things down. The cold water will help stop the pasta sticking together. Tip the cold pasta back into the saucepan.
• When the eggs are cool enough to touch, peel away the shell then slice into chunks and add to the pasta in the pan.
• Now add the chopped cucumber and halved cherry tomatoes.
• Measure in the mayonnaise and give the mixture a good stir. Tuck in straight away or store in the fridge until ready to serve.
