1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1 cup cucumber, diced

1/2 cup red onion, finely chopped

1/2 cup frozen peas, thawed

1 cup mayonnaise

1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt

2 tbsp Dijon mustard

1 tbsp apple cider vinegar

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot, bring water to a rolling boil. Add the rotini pasta and cook according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.

      Mix the Dressing: In a large mixing bowl, combine the mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, apple cider vinegar, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Whisk until well combined and smooth.

        Combine Ingredients: In the bowl with the dressing, add the cooked pasta, chopped hard-boiled eggs, cherry tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, and peas. Stir gently until everything is evenly coated with the dressing.

          Chill and Serve: Cover the pasta salad and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Once chilled, taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
