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

½ head broccoli florets, chopped
1 red bell pepper, chopped
1 yellow bell pepper, chopped
1 medium onion, chopped

Directions

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook elbow macaroni in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain, rinse with cool water, and drain once more. Chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Mix yogurt, oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, garlic, dill, salt, and pepper for dressing together in a bowl using a wire whisk.
