HOW TO MAKE THIS WEIGHT WATCHERS PASTA RECIPE

This easy Weight Watchers macaroni salad recipe serves three people at 7 Weight Watchers points per serving. 

To begin, add pasta bow ties to a pot of boiling water and cook until al dente. 

Whilst cooking your pasta, drain and measure out your sweetcorn and black beans. You can use frozen corn or canned corn, the Weight Watchers points are the same. 

Chop your peppers, tomato, onion and cilantro and set aside.

Once the pasta is cooked and drained, pour into a large mixing bowl and let it cool for a few minutes, mixing occasionally so that the pasta doesn’t become sticky and hard.

Add in corn, black beans, green pepper, tomato, onion, and cilantro.

To make the Weight Watchers low-point salad dressing, mix the yogurt, lime, honey, cumin and paprika in a bowl or salad dressing bottle. Stir or shake the dressing until the ingredients are well mixed.

Pour dressing over the pasta salad and mix well.

Break up your feta cheese and sprinkle over the top of your pasta, use a fork or salad spoons to mix the ingredients around in your bowl. 

Your Weight Watchers pasta salad recipe is now complete. You can set this aside in the fridge or serve immediately. This could be a great salad lunch or be shared as a side dish with other food.
