Ingredients

  • 16 ounces rotini pasta or another small shape like farfalle or elbows
  • 1 red onion diced
  • 1 cup pitted olives sliced (I use kalamata olives)
  • 2 seedless cucumbers peeled and diced
  • 1 pint Grape or Cherry Tomatoes halved
  • 1 10 ounce jar marinated artichoke hearts, drained and chopped
  • 1 ½ cups crumbled Feta cheese
  • 24 ounces prepared tzatziki sauce I used two 12-ounce containers*

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Rinse with cold water, drain, and cool.
  2. While the pasta cooks, chop your veggies for the salad.
  3. Place pasta in a large bowl. Stir in onion, olives, cucumbers, tomatoes, and artichoke hearts. Add tzatziki sauce and toss to coat. Fold in feta cheese, cover, and refrigerate until ready to serve.

Notes

  • *You can find prepared tzatziki sauce (which I love as a shortcut instead of making my own) in most regular grocery stores. Look in the refrigerated part of the produce section where you also get hummus and salad dressings!
