Broccoli Salad



8 ounces farfalle pasta
6 slices bacon, diced
1 head broccoli, cut into florets and finely chopped
2 cups seedless red grapes, halved

For the dressing:
1/2 cup plain Greek yogurt
1/2 cup mayonnaise
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

1. To make the dressing, whisk together mayonnaise, Greek yogurt, vinegar, sugar, thyme, salt and pepper, to taste, in a small bowl; set aside.
2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook pasta according to package instructions; drain well. Heat a large skillet over medium high heat.
