simple pasta salad
Last updated: September 2023
A simple, chilled pasta salad with subtle Mediterranean flavors for a lunch or dinner!
This chilled pasta salad is as simple as tossing cooked pasta with a few simple ingredients and Greek dressing! It pairs nicely with my Grilled Turkish Kofte recipe, but you can serve this with any protein you like (in the photo above I serve with rotisserie chicken and a side of grapes). I like prepping this at the beginning of the week to make easy at-home or lunchbox meals for my little one!
INGREDIENTS
16 oz of pasta (your favorite style!)
1 finely chopped red bell pepper
1 finely chopped yellow bell pepper
1 diced medium-sized cucumber
1 cup of quartered cherry tomatoes
Handful of feta cheese
Drizzle of Greek dressing
DIRECTIONS
Cook pasta and let cool at room temperature
Add in all ingredients to pasta once chilled and toss with dressing
Serve chilled or slightly warmed!
NOTES
Store in fridge for 4-5 days and freeze for up to 3 months!
For add-ins, olives would go really well here also. Totally customizable though - whatever you like in your pasta salad, toss it in.
While you can use practically any pasta here, my favorites for this recipe are farfalle or rigatoni as they both hold dressings and sauces really well.
The bell peppers and tomatoes can be roasted vs. including un-cooked here. I usually roast at about 400F for 30-40 min!
