Pasta salads tend to get a bad rap, but I find that the more I think of them as cold and fresh
summer dishes and the less as mayo-laden bowls of suspicious ingredients offered in
delis around the country, the more inviting they become, not only for picnics and potlucks
but for an awesome Friday night.
I actually made this Greek Pasta Salad for a BBQ this past weekend, everyone raved about
it, and wanted to know how to make it. 
In my book, I always know that something works when people ask for the recipe. Then
again, I’m not sure if they are ever going to make it but sure enough, they’ve enjoyed it.
I love when people get so excited about something that is so simple to make and so fresh.

This pasta salad is a flavor-packed medley of crisp veggies, al dente pasta, salty and
creamy feta cheese, and a sweet and tangy vinaigrette. And it all comes together in a
matter of minutes.
If you want to add some protein, you can throw in some  souvlaki chicken. Trust me, you
won’t be disappointed.

You can use whatever pasta you want in this Greek Pasta Salad. I love rotini because it’s
fun to eat and I also love the way the dressing gets caught in the crannies and infuses the
pasta with flavor. 
This red wine vinaigrette is so simple, flavorful, and it comes together in a matter of
minutes with just a few pantry ingredients.
It’s the perfect dish for taking to parties, potlucks, BBQs and more. This pasta salad goes
well with so many different things.
It’s basically summer in a bowl: colorful, fresh, and healthy.
