Ingredients
12 ounces pasta
1 cup halved grape tomatoes
1 cup sliced and quartered cucumbers
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
1 cup baby spinach
1/2 cup sliced pitted green olives
1/2 cup sliced pitted black olives
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
1/2 to 3/4 cup Homemade Greek Salad Dressing
1/2 cup olive oil
1/2 cup red wine vinegar
1 large clove minced garlic
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
2 teaspoons dried oregano
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon fresh cracked pepper
Instructions
Cook the pasta in a pot of salted boiling water until al dente. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
In a large bowl, combine the cooked pasta, halved grape tomatoes, sliced cucumbers, thinly sliced red onion, baby spinach, sliced green olives, and sliced black olives.
Drizzle about 1/2 cup of Greek Salad Dressing over the pasta salad and toss to coat all the ingredients evenly. Add more dressing as needed, depending on your preference.
Add the crumbled feta cheese to the salad and toss gently to combine.
Season the salad with salt and pepper to taste.
Serve the Mediterranean Pasta Salad immediately, or refrigerate it for a few hours to allow the flavors to meld together before serving.
