1 pint grape or cherry tomatoes
1 cup thinly sliced/diced celery, including the leafy top part

2/3 cup plain fat free yogurt
10 fresh mint leaves (not found in Spark's listings)

Here is how you make Mint Cucumber Pasta Salad:

Prepare pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse in very cold water. Wash all produce and peel one of the cucumbers. Dice the peeled cucumber and puree it in a blender or food processor (this might take a while in a blender, but it will work!). Add the mint to the blender/food processors until completely incorporated in the cucumber. Add the yogurt and blend/process until fully mixed. This is the dressing. Set aside.Chop the remaining produce into bite sized pieces. Mix in the cooled pasta (this is a cool pasta salad, not a hot pasta dish), veggies and dressing together.
