  12       oz           Medium shell pasta
   1       lb           Mixed seafood (scallops, squid

   1 1/2   c            Diced sweet red peppers
   1       c            Diced sweet green peppers
     3/4   c            Diced red onions
     3/4   c            Thinely sliced carrots
     1/2   c            Chopped green onions
                        -----DRESSING-----
   1       c            2% yogurt
     1/3   c            Light mayonnaise
     1/2   c            Chopped fresh dill -OR-
   1 1/2   tb           Dried dill
   2       tb           Lemon juice
   2       ts           Crushed garlic
   1       t            Dijon mustard

  Cook pasta in boiling water according to package instructions or
  until firm to the bite.  Rinse with cold water.  Drain and place in
  serving bowl.

  In medium nonstick skillet sprayed with vegetable spray, saute
  seafood just until cooked, approximately 3 minutes.  Set aside.

  Add red and green peppers, onions, carrots and green onions to
  pasta. Add seafood.

  Make the dressing:  In small bowl combine yogurt, mayonnaise,
  dill, lemon juice, garlic and mustard.  Pour over pasta.  Toss and
  chill.

  TIPS: firm fish filets can be used with or instead of mxed
  seafood.  Be careful not to over cool.  Grilled fish instead of
  sauteed makes an excellent variation.  Make ahead.  Pasta salad and
  dressing can be prepared early in day.  Do not toss until ready to
  serve.
