Greek Pasta Salad
Greek Pasta Salad blends gluten-free penne with fresh zucchini slices, grape tomatoes, and kalamata olives, tossed with crumbled feta and fresh herbs like parsley or basil. The red wine vinegar and grapeseed oil dressing, brightened with lemon juice and aromatic herbes de provence, brings a tangy and herbal note to the dish.
