I adore the Mediterranean flavors…so much so, that a visit to the Mediterranean is on my “someday travel bucket list.” This simple, tasty and fresh pasta salad is loaded with flavor and completed with a homemade Greek vinaigrette dressing. If you’ve never made your own vinaigrette dressing, might I suggest you start with this one!
Also, double up on this and then you’ll have a delightful and fresh pasta salad to enjoy all week long!
Cook the pasta and run cool water over it. Add all the fresh goodness with the pasta.
Pile on the feta. Don’t be shy here.
(If you don’t love feta, maybe try goat cheese crumbles. Or leave it out entirely.)
Mix it all up with the homemade vinaigrette!
This is super easy to make gluten-free when you sub out the regular pasta with a small shell gluten free pasta. (This brand continues to be my favorite brand of GF pasta! The prices fluctuate widely on Amazon, and may or may not be cheaper than your grocery store…if they carry it! Do you price research before ordering!)
And devour! Love, love, love this pasta!
