Instructions

Cook the pasta according to the package instructions. Drain, rinse the pasta and set aside.
In a mixing bowl, mix together the Greek yogurt, mayo, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, honey, salt, pepper and vinegar.
In a separate large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, bell pepper, celery, red onion, peas and hard boiled eggs. Toss the dressing with the pasta and veggie mixture then add the dried parsley. Chill and serve!

Notes

1/8th of the recipe equals one serving or approximately a half cup. If you want the exact amount, measure the entire macaroni salad on a food scale in grams and divide by 8. This equals one serving. Then measure out on the food scale one serving.
