Greek Pasta Salad is easy to make and delicious. Cherry tomatoes, cucumber, bell pepper, black olives, spiral rotini pasta, Greek salad dressing and feta cheese galore!
I frequently make this pasta salad on Sunday afternoons and put in the fridge so my family has a quick and healthy lunch to take with them through the week. We love pasta salad for our lunches. So simple and better for you than eating out and nothing you have to wait in line to reheat in the office microwave. I swear a coworker always has to been bring in a 3 course meal to heat up and you spend half your lunch waiting…. waiting, to eat.
I use Girardi’s Greek Salad Dressing but use what you love, it would even be healthier to make your own as store bought tends to have high calories and high sodium. I do love this dressing though, it has big chunks of feta cheese in and perfect consistency for pasta salad. Aaron was just telling me as I was chopping the tomatoes, that this is his favorite! I think he says every food is his favorite but its up there on his go to list for sure.
