Pesto Pea Salad




We whipped this up last week inspired by something at our local Kroger deli.
Here's what you need:

Box of Bowtie pasta
Mayo Substitute
Bunch of Green Onions
Package Frozen Peas
Small bag of Pinenuts
2 packages of Pesto Mix

Cook bowtie pasta according to package directions and rinse with cold water. Also, cook pesto mixes according to package directions. In the meantime, cut up your green onions and slightly cook your peas to thaw them (or you can thaw them out ahead of time). Once pasta and pesto mixes are done, add the pesto to that pasta and mix well.
Toss in your green onions and peas. Now, slowly mix in some mayo substitute. This will vary depending on how creamy you like it. Next, mix in some pine nuts. You can add some garlic salt, salt and pepper if you want. Let sit overnight for best flavor.

This makes a great potluck or picnic recipe. It's pretty likely you'll be the only one who shows up with it.
