  • In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, yogurt, and balsamic vinaigrette. Pour the dressing over the pasta and vegetables and stir gently until everything is coated.

Notes

  1. Corn: you can use fresh from the cob, canned, or frozen corn, any color. I prefer fresh or canned yellow corn for this recipe. If using frozen, thaw and blot dry before adding to the salad.
  2. Greek yogurt: make sure you are using plain Greek yogurt. You can also use regular plain yogurt or sour cream.
