Greek Pasta Salad
Prep time: 20 minutes
Cook time: 10 minutes
Total time: 30 minutes
Ingredients
1 (16-ounce) package tri-color or garden rotini pasta
1 small red onion, chopped
2 small summer squash, chopped
1 (2.25-ounce) can sliced black olives, drained
1 (4-ounce) package feta cheese crumbles
1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1 (14-ounce) bottle Greek vinaigrette dressing
Instructions
1. Cook the pasta according to the package instructions and drain well.
2. Pour the pasta into a large bowl and add the other ingredients.
3. Toss well and refrigerate until serving.
4. If you’re going to be serving this the next day, wait until a few hours before the meal to add the dressing. If it sits in the refrigerator for too long, the pasta absorbs all of the dressing and the salad may become a little dry.
