Crab Pasta Salad



I have been guest hosting a thread on the Weight Watchers Power Foods board that serves as a recipe exchange, while the regular hostess is taking a break. The first week I hosted, I asked for no-cook or minimal cooking recipes to keep the kitchen cool during this insane heat wave. This recipe was posted in that thread by Grandmomlady, and has now become a summer staple for us. My version may be a bit different from hers, but it's very tasty and super easy.

Crab Pasta Salad
4 oz whole wheat elbow macaroni
2 stalks celery, diced
6 oz imitation crab meat, cut into bite-sized pieces
1/4 cup fat free mayonnaise
1/4 cup fat free plain yogurt (regular or Greek)
1 tsp onion powder

Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and rinse with cold water to cool. Mix in a large bowl with remaining ingredients. Serve chilled. Makes 2 generous servings.
