Greek Pasta Salad – a quick and easy side dish you can make ahead and bring to any potluck! Pasta tossed with tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, red onions, and feta with a Greek dressing that brings it all together.
I am a huge fan of Greek flavors, they just blend so well together. This Greek Salad that is very similar to this without the pasta is a staple in the summer with fresh veggies available.
And I love that you can just add grilled chicken to this or along side and you have a complete meal in no time!
What’s In Greek Pasta Salad
- Pasta (any short cut pasta you like)
- Cucumbers
- Tomatoes
- Red Onions
- Olives
- Parsley
- Feta Cheese
- Greek Dressing
You really can use a bottle of Greek Dressing you find at the store, but this homemade Greek Vinaigrette is so easy to make with just a few ingredients. So if you have an extra 5 minutes, I highly recommend trying it!
Plus homemade dressing is so good on just about anything. Throw it on a Simple Tossed Salad for a side dish another night of the week.
How To Make Greek Pasta Salad
- Start by cooking your pasta according to the package directions. Once it is cooked I like to rinse with cold water to help it cool down quickly.
- While the pasta is cooking, chop your veggies! Just cut your tomatoes, olives and cucumbers in half and finely chop the onions and parsley.
- Then make the dressing. Just add all of the ingredients to a jar that has a tight fitting lid and shake for a minute or two until it is really well combined.
- Once the pasta has cooled just toss everything together! Start slow with the dressing, it is better to have to add more later than have it soggy because you added too much right away.
How To Store Pasta Salad
I love making pasta salad in the summer because it stores so well in the fridge. Just place it in an air tight container and it will last for a few days. It is great to make ahead for a get together, or prep for lunches and dinner during the week.
