A delicious pasta salad with a greek flavored twist. Goes far so make for a crowd.

Ingredients

  • Dressing:
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely minced
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  • 1/4 cup red wine vinegar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/2 cup olive oil
  • Pasta salad
  • 1 pound tricolor Rotini (regular Rotini works too)
  • 3/4 medium English cucumber, peeled, halved lengthwise, cut into 1/4-inch pieces (I also like to use the snacking cucumbers, no need to peel those or half)
  • 1 dry pint cherry or grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 large red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 cup pitted kalamata olives, halved (I cheat if I don’t have enough Kalamata I use black olives to supplement)
  • 6 ounces feta, crumbled
  • 3 cups firmly packed baby spinach

Instructions

  1. Make dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together garlic, oregano, mustard, vinegar, salt, pepper and olive oil until well combined.
  2. Make salad: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook until al dente, about 10 minutes, or as label directs. Drain, rinse under cold water and transfer to a bowl. Add remaining ingredients, toss with dressing and serve. (I like best when served the next day, the flavors really meld by then)
