What is a BBQ without all of the salads? This classic creamy pasta salad is easy to make and very low in phe. If you look carefully there is very little difference between the ingredients in this and the potato salad (just a little extra mayo and lemon juice), so it is super easy to get both salads out at the same time with little extra effort. Make sure you properly drain the pasta and blot it dry, otherwise it becomes a diluted mushy mess.This recipe is enough for 1 pound of pasta, so divide it as needed for those requiring a low protein diet.
**NOTE: This is just the “sauce” for the pasta salad. Phe for the pasta (high or low) is not included. It makes enough sauce for 1 lb of pasta.

Ingredients
Method
- Cook your pasta (high or low pro) based on the package instrutions. Drain and rinse under cold water until cool. Shake out excess water and spread evenly over paper towels to dry for 3 minutes. Blot with more paper towels.
- Combine the remaining ingredients in a medium sized bowl and stir.
- This recipe makes enough for 1 lb of pasta. If you’re mixing high & low, use 1/4 cup of the mixture for each serving of pasta (9 servings total).
Notes
To make ahead: Prepare all ingredients aside from the low protein pasta a day in advance. Set aside 60 gm of dressing per serving of lp-pasta. Low protein pasta becomes hard once it goes in the fridge for too long, so you can do all of the prep the day before but cook the pasta on the day you need it.
