Description

A cold and crisp pasta salad with bright Italian dressing, olives, and creamy feta, perfect for potlucks and meal prep.


Ingredients

  • 8 oz spiral rotini pasta
  • 1 English cucumber, chopped
  • 1 cup grape tomatoes, halved
  • 1/4 red onion, sliced
  • 1/2 cup black olives, sliced
  • 4 oz feta cheese, crumbled
  • 1/2 cup Italian dressing


Instructions

  1. Boil the spiral rotini pasta according to package instructions until al dente.
  2. Drain well and cool to prevent wilting the vegetables and melting the feta.
  3. Add the cooled pasta, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion, olives, and feta cheese to a large bowl.
  4. Drizzle with Italian dressing and toss gently until evenly coated.
  5. Serve immediately, or refrigerate for later and toss again before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, let the salad chill in the fridge for a short time before serving.
