The creamy Greek yogurt and mayo dressing coats tender pasta while fresh spinach and Parmesan cheese deliver those classic spinach dip flavors we all crave. It’s make-ahead friendly and gets even better after chilling.

    Tip of the Day

    “Always let your meat rest before slicing.”

    Whether you're roasting a chicken, grilling steak, or baking pork tenderloin, letting cooked meat rest for 5–10 minutes before slicing allows the juices to redistribute evenly. This simple step keeps your meat juicy and tender, ensuring every bite is flavorful and moist. Bonus: It gives you a moment to plate your sides or garnish for a perfect presentation!
