Greek Pasta Salad
Description
Greek Pasta Salad features gluten-free penne cooked and cooled before being combined with thinly sliced zucchini, halved grape tomatoes, and halved kalamata olives. Crumbled feta cheese adds a creamy and slightly tangy element, while fresh chopped parsley or basil contributes herbal brightness. The dressing consists of red wine vinegar, grapeseed oil, lemon juice, and herbes de provence, seasoned with salt and black pepper to taste, creating a vibrant, balanced flavor.
The preparation involves gently tossing all salad ingredients with the dressing to coat without bruising delicate components like the zucchini. The flavors meld as the salad chills, making it a refreshing choice for warm-weather meals or as a colorful accompaniment to grilled dishes.
This salad works well for packed lunches, potlucks, or casual dining, providing a gluten-free and vegetarian-friendly option that highlights crisp textures and fresh, tangy flavors.
