Number Of Ingredients 14

SALAD INGREDIENTS
1 lb box of pasta of choice (can be low carb, whole wheat, etc)
2 c cucumbers, seeded and cut into bite size chunks
2 c grape or cherry tomatoes, halved
1/2 c Kalamata olives, pitted and coarsely chopped
1/2 medium red onion sliced very thin
1 c crumbled Feta cheese
1/2 tsp dried oregano (or more to personal taste)
2 c chopped fresh baby spinach
1/2 c sun-dried tomatoes in oil, finely chopped
DRESSING INGREDIENTS
1/2 c extra virgin olive oil
3 Tbsp red wine vinegar
freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • 1. Cook pasta according to directions.
  • 2. Drain and set aside. Let cool.
  • 3. Combine dressing ingredients; set aside.
  • 4. Prepare the olives, tomatoes, cucumbers, spinach, sun-dried tomatoes and onion.
  • 5. Combine with the pasta.
  • 6. Mix in the dressing and pepper.
  • 7. Add the Feta cheese last.
  • 8. Mix in the Feta cheese.
  • 9. Refrigerate and serve.
  • 10. NOTE: I make an additional recipe of the dressing to add when serving or just double the recipe at the beginning. The pasta tends to soak up the dressing and it can be dry. I made this the day before to allow the flavors to mature.
