Ingredients:

• 6 oz cut macaroni or shell pasta (2 cups dry)
• 16 oz can asparagus drained and diced
• 1/2 cup shredded carrot
• 8 oz carton (1 cup) plain nonfat yogurt
• 1 can (2.25 oz) sliced ripe olives, drained
• 2 cups leftover ham, diced
• 1/8 teaspoon dried tarragon, crushed
• 1/8 teaspoon dried basil, crushed

Method

Cook pasta as directed and drain. Place all ingredients into large salad bowl and toss well. Chill for one hour before serving. If pasta seems dry add 1/2 cup additional yogurt.

Notes: I like this salad because it is refreshing and different. Additional seasonings such as salt and pepper may be added at the table to each person's taste.

Number of servings: 4-6
