Many many years ago, I got this recipe from a neighbour, my good friend Judy. She has moved far away, but we still love this pasta salad, it has a Greek twist to it, delicious! I highly recommend it!
Judy’s Pasta Salad
-2 cups pasta (your choice of kind), cook 8 minutes, or to package directions
-add 1 tbsp. olive oil to cooked, drained pasta, mix well
-in a small bowl combine 1/3 cup, diced sweet red pepper, 1/4 cup chopped green onion, 1/4 cup slivered black olives
-add this to pasta
Dressing:
3 tbsp. white wine vinegar
1/2 cup feta cheese
2 tbsp. minced fresh parsley
1 clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp. oregano
1/4 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. pepper
1/3 cup olive oil
Combine everything in a blender and blend well.
Add to pasta mixture. Dressing is good when made the day before as well. Just before serving, add to salad: 1 cup cherry tomatoes - cut in half, (any tomatoes will do), and 1/2 cup chopped cucumber. Keep chilled until ready to serve.
I have been known to double the salad dressing to give the salad more flavour!
Feta makes the world go 'round... mmmm. (So do soppressata, hazelnut chocolate and coffee... but those are other stories ;) Thanks for sharing, five, and for (as always), making me drooool.
