Ingredients

  • 1 Dry Pint Pure Flavor® Uno Bites™ Nano Cucumbers sliced
  • 6 oz Penne Pasta cooked
  • 1/2 cup Canned Sweet Corn drained
  • 2 tbsp Mayo
  • 1 tbsp Dijon Mustard
  • 2 tsp Lemon Juice
  • 2 tbsp Feta Cheese divided
  • 1 tsp Crushed Red Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Olive Oil extra virgin
  • Salt/Pepper to taste

Garnishes

  • Remaining Feta
  • Parsley
  • Crushed Red Pepper

Instructions

  • Combine the mayo, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, 1 tbsp of feta, crushed red pepper in the base of your serving bowl. Whisk and slowly pour in the olive oil, continuously whisking to create a silky lemon dressing.
  • Season the dressing to taste with salt and pepper. (I used about ¼ tsp of salt and pepper each.)
  • Add in the Uno Bites™ Nano Cucumbers and sweet corn and coat in the dressing.
  • Stir in the cooked pasta and give the entire salad a toss to evenly coat it in the dressing.
  • Cover the pasta with plastic wrap and place in the fridge to chill for about 30 minutes.
  • Upon serving, garnish the pasta salad with the remaining crumbled feta, fresh chopped parsley, and additional crushed red pepper if desired.
