In a large bowl, combine bell peppers, celery, onion, sunflower seeds and cranberries if using.

Add pasta mixture, toss gently.

To prepare dressing, in a medium bowl, whisk together yogurt, mayonnaise, parsley, lemon juice and dillweed.

Pour half of dressing over pasta mixture; toss well. Cover and chill salad for at least 1 hour; chill remaining dressing separately.

Serve salad with reserved dressing.
