So here is a really fantastic pasta salad recipe. To add a twist … we made it GREEK!
While creating this recipe and adding up the Weight Watchers point values in my head, I was getting a little bit worried that the points would be higher than I wanted. HOWEVER, to my shock and amazement, this delicious pasta salad is only 2.5 points (original points system) for a cup. Yes, that is right … a full serving cup for only 2.5 points.
I hope you try this recipe and enjoy this healthy, low-calorie pasta salad as much as my hubby and I did. Let me know what you think of this recipe or how you tweaked it in the comments below. Happy eats!
