Sharing is caring!

I think pasta is one of the most versatile ingredients around. No surprise there, it can practically be added to anything, and anything can be added to it. I admit, I love my pasta. This Greek-inspired pasta salad is perfect as a side dish for a summer picnic or a served alone as a light meal. I love that it can be served cold. Who wants to turn the oven on when it’s 100 degrees outside, right? Pasta salad can not only serve as a side dish but also as a light meal by adding more hearty ingredients or protein. That’s the great thing about pasta salad – you can any ingredient you like to it!

Here is one of my favorite pasta salads I make quite often – Greek-Style Pasta Salad. I recently prepared it for Gabrielle’s Sweet 16 Celebration. The feta cheese, cucumbers, olives and vinaigrette dressing are all traditional Greek ingredients that makes this salad so tasty. Do you  have a favorite salad you like to make? I’d love to hear. I hope you give this one a try and let me know how you like it.
