Ingredients

Servings

For the Dressing

  • 1 cup olive oil
  • ¾ cup red wine vinegar
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 2 teaspoons dried basil
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 2 teaspoons Za’atar
  • 1-1/2 teaspoons freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 teaspoons granulated sugar

For the Salad

  • 1 pound rotini pasta cooked according to package directions
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes cut in half (you can sub in grape tomatoes)
  • 1 large cucumber seeded and chopped
  • 1 red bell pepper chopped
  • 1 green bell pepper chopped
  • 4 green onions thinly sliced
  • ¾ cup kalamata olives
  • 1-1/2 cups crumbled Feta cheese
  • 1 7- ounce pepperoni stick sliced

Instructions

  1. In a large Mason jar or other airtight container, combine olive oil, vinegar, garlic powder, basil, oregano, Za’atar black pepper, and sugar. Close tightly and shake well to combine.
  2. In a large bowl, combine cooked pasta, tomatoes, cucumber, bell peppers, green onions, olives, feta cheese and pepperoni.
  3. Separate and reserve ½ cup of dressing in the refrigerator.
  4. Toss the pasta salad with the rest of the dressing until evenly coated. Cover, and chill overnight.
  5. Right before serving, freshen the salad with the reserved dressing, tossing to coat.

Notes

  • Pasta salad is best made the night before it is served. Reserve about ½ cup of dressing in the refrigerator and freshen the salad before serving.
  • This Greek Pasta Salad recipe is totally customizable. If you aren’t a fan of something on the ingredient list, substitute it with another vegetable. I have added mushrooms, artichoke hearts, and banana peppers to this recipe with great results.
  • I highly recommend finding Za’atar. It’s such a great spice (a blend of sumac, sesame seeds and herbs) to have on hand.
