Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

Salt
1 pound corkscrew pasta
1 pound asparagus
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
1 garlic clove, minced
1/4 cup fresh lemon juice
1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
Freshly ground black pepper
1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
1/4 cup freshly chopped dill leaves
1 cup frozen peas, defrosted
7 ounces crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over high heat. Add the pasta and cook until al dente. Drain and rinse. Set aside.
  • In another large pot of boiling salted water, add the asparagus and blanch until bright green and slightly tender, about 3 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon or a spider and shock in icy cold water. Remove from the water and dry well.
  • Trim the ends of the asparagus and cut into bite-size pieces on the bias.
  • Whisk together the mustard, garlic, lemon juice, and olive oil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.
  • Combine the reserved asparagus and pasta in a large serving bowl. Add the tomatoes, dill, peas, feta, and the mustard dressing. Toss with tongs to coat the salad well. Taste and add additional salt and pepper, if needed.

Overall, this is a good pasta salad recipe. It's easy to make and has a nice flavor. However, I would recommend making a few adjustments to the recipe to suit your own taste.

The dressing for this pasta salad was too oily for my liking. I ended up draining some of it off before serving.

This pasta salad was a bit bland for my taste. I think it needed more seasoning or some additional ingredients to give it more flavor.

Made this for a picnic and it was a total crowd-pleaser. The dressing is light and refreshing, and the pasta salad is packed with flavor. I used a mix of penne and rotini pasta, and added some chopped sun-dried tomatoes for extra zest.

This lemon pasta salad was a hit at my summer potluck! The bright and tangy dressing was the perfect complement to the tender pasta and crisp vegetables. I added a bit of extra feta cheese and chopped fresh parsley for extra flavor and color.
