Ingredients

  • 16 ounces multigrain elbow macaroni (such as Barilla ProteinPLUS®)

Dressing:

  • 1 cup plain yogurt

  • ¾ cup extra-virgin olive oil

  • ½ cup red wine vinegar

  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano

  • 1 teaspoon minced garlic

  • 1 teaspoon dried dill weed

  2. Mix yogurt, oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper for dressing together in a bowl using a wire whisk.
