We cut the fat but not the creamy, delicious flavor in one of our favorite summertime classics.
Notes:
Makeover - How We Did It
We kept all of the flavor and creaminess of pasta salad by combining MIRACLE WHIP Light Dressing and KRAFT Light Zesty Italian Reduced Fat Dressing in place of 3/4 cup of mayonnaise and also used KRAFT Natural 2% Milk Reduced Fat Colby & Monterey Jack Cheese Crumbles instead of full-fat cheese. As a result of these simple substitutions, this makeover saves 170 calories and 22 grams of fat per serving compared to a traditional pasta salad!
Jazz It Up
Add 1/2 tsp. of your favorite herb, such as dill or basil.
