Ingredients

    For The Croutons:

  • 3 cups 1/3-inch-diced day-old bread
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt
  • For The Dressing:

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup reduced-fat buttermilk
  • 1/4 cup reduced-fat Greek yogurt
  • 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 cloves garlic (smashed and peeled)
  • For The Salad:

  • 2 hearts of romaine lettuce (cut into 1/3-inch pieces)
  • 2 ears of corn (kernels removed)
  • 8 ounces pasta, such as Tricolored Fusilli, Fusilli Corti or Eliche Grandi (cooked and cooled)

Instructions

  1. This recipe originally appeared on Giada on the Beach. Episode: Pool Party!
  2. For the croutons: Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  3. On a small rimmed baking sheet, toss the cubed bread with the olive oil, Parmesan and salt. Bake until golden brown and crispy, about 15 minutes.
  4. For the dressing: Meanwhile, in a large bowl, whisk together the Parmesan, buttermilk, yogurt, olive oil, salt, pepper and garlic. Set aside to let the flavors marry for 5 minutes.
  5. For the salad: Remove the cloves of garlic from the dressing and discard. To the bowl of dressing, add the lettuce, corn, pasta and croutons. Toss well to coat.

    I grilled the ears of corn, then removed the kernels before adding them to the pasta salad
