Creamy Cheddar Broccoli Salad
A sweet and tangy dressing makes this creamy cheddar broccoli salad a huge hit wherever it goes.
Servings: 8 servings
Ingredients
- 8 ounces uncooked bowtie pasta
- 2 cups chopped broccoli florets
- 8 ounces cheddar cheese diced (see notes)
- ⅔ cup chopped celery
- ¼ red onion diced
Dressing
- ⅓ cup mayo
- ¼ cup plain fat free greek yogurt
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 teaspoons sugar
- 1 teaspoon dijon mustard
- ½ teaspoon salt (or to taste)
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper (or to taste)
Instructions
- Whisk together all dressing ingredients. Cover and chill until ready to use.
- Cook pasta according to package instructions. Drain and transfer pasta to a large bowl. Add broccoli, cheese, celery, and onions. Add dressing and toss to combine. Serve immediately, or cover and chill 1-3 hours before serving for enhanced flavor.
Notes
Sometimes I like to use a combination of sharp yellow cheddar cheese, and colbyjack cheese.
