Easy Greek Pasta Salad
Report
Easy Greek Pasta Salad combines rotini pasta with fresh veggies like cucumber, grape tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onion, plus olives and crumbled feta cheese. The salad is tossed in a classic Greek dressing or a homemade vinaigrette with red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Chilling it for a couple of hours allows the flavors to marry, making it a refreshing and crunchy side dish or light meal option.
Description
Easy Greek Pasta Salad brings together cooked and cooled rotini pasta with diced cucumber, grape tomatoes, diced bell pepper, sliced olives, crumbled feta cheese, and red onion. The dressing can be store-bought Greek dressing or a simple homemade blend of red wine vinegar, olive oil, garlic powder, and oregano seasoned with salt and pepper. After mixing all the components, refrigerate for at least two hours for the flavors to meld. The combination offers a crisp, tangy salad with a creamy touch from the feta, suitable for picnics, potlucks, or meal prep.
