Ingredients

0.5
0 1/2 lb dry penne pasta 0.5
0 1/2 cup low fat cottage cheese 0.25
0 1/4 cup light mayonnaise 1.0
1 tbsp cider vinegar 1.0
1 tbsp olive oil 1.0
1 each medium garlic cloves 1.0
1 cup fresh broccoli florets 1.0
1 cup Asparagus, fresh 1.0
1 cup chopped tomato 0.5
0 1/2 cup fresh cucumber, peeled and chopped 0.25
0 1/4 cup fresh chopped celery 2.0
2 each scallions 1.0
1 each Pickles, dill 1.0
1 tbsp fresh dill weed 1.0
1 pinch salt and pepper

Directions

Bring a large pot of water to a boil and cook the penne until al dente. Drain the pasta, rinse it with cold water, and set aside.
Combine the cottage cheese, mayonnaise, vinegar, oil and garlic in a blender or food processor, puree until smooth, and set aside.
Steam the broccoli for about 5 minutes, until crisp-tender and still bright green. Remove the broccoli, briefly submerge it in cold water, and set aside to drain. Likewise, steam the asparagus until just tender, submerge for about 30 seconds in cold water, and drain.
Mix together the pasta, the pureed cheese mixture, and all of the salad ingredients in a serving bowl. Chill for 20 minutes, until the flavors marry.
