Directions:Cook pasta according to package directions. Meanwhile, prepare the dressing by placing the mayonnaise and butermilk in a plastic container with a tight-fitting lid. Cover and shake until smooth. Add remaining dressing ingredients. Cover and shake until well combined.
Drain the cooked pasta in a large colander and rinse under cold water until cool; set aside. Using kitchen scissors, snip off the root ends from the green onions and about 2" of the green tops; leave some of the green tops attached. Snip trimmed onions crosswise into thin slices. In a large bowl, gently toss together the cooked pasta, kidney beans, celery, red pepper, and green onions. Pour on dressing and toss until pasta is well coated. |
