Ingredients
  

8 oz. tri-color rotini pasta

1 cup cooked shrimp, peeled and deveined

1 cup cooked scallops, quartered

1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

1/2 cup black olives, sliced

1/2 cup diced cucumber

1/4 cup finely chopped red onion

1/2 cup corn kernels (fresh or frozen, cooked)

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped

1/2 cup mayonnaise

1/4 cup Greek yogurt

2 tbsp lemon juice

Instructions
 

Cook the Pasta: In a large pot of salted boiling water, cook the tri-color rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool down.

    Prepare the Seafood: If you haven't already, cook the shrimp and scallops in a skillet over medium heat until they are opaque and cooked through, roughly 3-4 minutes. Allow them to cool.

      Combine Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, shrimp, scallops, cherry tomatoes, black olives, cucumber, red onion, and corn. Gently toss together to mix.

        Make the Dressing: In a separate bowl, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic powder, salt, and pepper until smooth.

          Dress the Salad: Pour the dressing over the seafood pasta mixture and gently fold until everything is well-coated.

            Chill and Serve: Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld. Before serving, stir in fresh parsley and adjust seasoning if needed.

              Garnish: Serve with lemon wedges on the side.
