Greek Pasta Salad
- Dressing
- 1/2 cup Greek Yogurt
- 1/3 cup Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 Lemon Juiced
- 2 tablespoons Balsalmic Vinegar
- 2 Cloves of Garlic Finely Diced
- 1 bunch Fresh Oregano Finely Diced
- 1 Shallot Finely Diced
- Salt to Taste
- Pasta and Vegetables
- 1 pound Dried Short Pasta (I like using Gemelli or Fusilli)
- 1 Red Onion Finely Diced
- 1 pound Cherry Tomatoes Halved or Quartered Depending on Size
- 1 Green Pepper Thinly Julienned
- 1 Large Field Cucumber Fined Chopped
- 1/2 cup Crumbled Feta
- 1/3 cup Kalamata Olives Diced
- Combine all of your prepared dressing ingredients in a mixing bowl. Whisk everything together and taste for seasoning. Be careful about adding too much salt, because you will get a lot of salty flavour from the feta. The dressing can definitely sit overnight to bring out the garlicky goodness!
- Cook your pasta in salted water. Make sure it is al dente, because the dressing will soften the pasta once it is absorbed. Once your pasta is cooked, leave in a large bowl to cool. If you are short on time, rinse under cold water.
- Add all of your prepared vegetables and feta to the bowl of pasta. Pour on your dressing and toss. I like to let the salad sit for an hour before serving, to giving the dressing a chance to be absorbed, but it is not necessary.
- Enjoy!
