Nutrition Facts :

Tips:

  • Choose the right pasta: Penne is a classic choice for pasta salad, but you can also use other short pastas like fusilli, rotini, or macaroni.
  • Cook the pasta al dente: This means cooking it until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it. Overcooked pasta will be mushy and not hold its shape well in the salad.
  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will make a big difference in the flavor of your salad. Look for ripe tomatoes, crisp cucumbers, and flavorful feta cheese.
  • Don't overdress the salad: A little bit of dressing goes a long way. Too much dressing will make the salad soggy and greasy.
  • Let the salad chill before serving: This will allow the flavors to meld and the salad to become more refreshing.

Conclusion:

This Greek-style penne pasta salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a summer picnic or potluck. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own preferences. With its vibrant colors and flavorful ingredients, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
