{Holy shit this is good!}

Noodles & Co. have a Greek salad with yogurt dressing that I looooove.

I've been craving it and tried to improvise my own version with ingredients I had on hand.

I still had  a small portion of my pizza toppings that I wanted to use up.

All that really needs to be said, is that after my first bite, I whispered to myself, 

"holy shit!!  this is good!"

I sautéed garlic, sundried tomatoes, pine nuts, spinach, cracked pepper, and sea salt in olive oil.

I boiled up shell macaroni to al dente, and sliced fresh red onion, yellow tomato, and cucumber.

Added it all together in a bowl, and then coated it with this lovely yogurt dressing.

(my kids drink this stuff!!  it's that good!)

~All natural

~No preservatives or MSG

~No artificial colors, flavors or added sugar

~65% less fat and 55% fewer calories than regular buttermilk dressing

A sprinkle of ground cheyenne  pepper and garlic powder was the final ingredient before I mixed it all together.

Oh people!!!  This was the most super wonderful combination of ingredients that my mouth has enjoyed for a long time. 

(the sundried tomatoes could have been left out...they were just ok)

I think the key is the dressing.

We will call this experimental salad of mine:

"Jolie's Holy Shit-Good" salad.
