Description

Greek Pasta Salad is quick and easy, loaded with Mediterranean flavors, and delicious. Serve it at a summer cookout or potluck, or meal prep weekly lunches. 


Ingredients

  • 1/2 pound (8 ounces) pastauncooked
  • 1 1/2 cups grape tomatoes (1 pint), halved
  • 1 1/2 cups mini cucumbers halved and sliced (3-4 mini cucumbers)
  • 1 bell pepperchopped
  • 1/4 cup red onionchopped
  • ½ cup kalamata black oliveshalved
  • ½ cup feta cheesecubed or crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh dill (or parsley), finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup Greek salad dressing, homemade or store-bought
  • 1/4 cup plain yogurt

Instructions

  1. Bring a medium pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 8-10 minutes or according to package instructions. Drain and rinse pasta under cold water to stop the cooking process and to cool the pasta down.
  2. Transfer the pasta to a large mixing bowl or serving bowl. If not assembling the salad immediately, add some olive oil and toss together to prevent the pasta from sticking together. Otherwise, add remaining ingredients.
  3. In a small mixing bowl, combine Greek salad dressing and yogurt and stir until smooth. Pour the dressing on top, and toss to combine.
  4. You can serve the pasta salad immediately, or cover the bowl tightly with plastic cling wrap and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. This will allow all the flavours to infuse into each other more. When ready to serve, give the salad a good toss and add a little more dressing, if desired.
