Greek Pasta Salad

Greek pasta salad is a tangy and fresh side dish that is perfect for a picnic or potluck.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, I am obsessed with Greek/ Mediterranean style food. (Exhibits A, B, C, D, E)

There is just something about the fresh veggies and tanginess that just (1) tastes like a party in my mouth and (2) feels so good in my body. 🎉💃🏼

This Greek pasta salad uses one of my existing, tried and true recipes: Greek red wine vinaigrette. It tastes amazing on this, and ties everything together!

This dish is vegetarian, but it is very easy to modify to be vegan if you don’t mind leaving off the cheese…or if you don’t like feta cheese. It is still really delicious.

But I LOVE mine with feta cheese! Yum😍👌🏻

Greek pasta salad goes great with everything from deli sandwiches to grilled chicken or fish. The possibilities are endless.
