This is a recipe my mom came up with when we were snowed in. Serve it hot or cold. Use flavored feta to add some extra seasoning to your dish.

I'm not a big fan of Greek food, but this salad was surprisingly good. I'll definitely be making it again.

I found the salad to be a bit bland. I think it would have been better with some grilled chicken or shrimp added in.

The dressing is a little too tangy for my taste, so I added a bit of honey to balance it out.

I'm not a huge fan of feta cheese, so I substituted crumbled goat cheese instead. It was still delicious!

This recipe is a great way to use up leftover pasta. I typically use a whole wheat or lentil pasta, and add in whatever vegetables I have on hand.
