directions

  • Prepare the vinaigrette (mix well together, oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano).
  • In a large salad bowl, mix the pasta, feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, green pepper, parsley and green onion.
  • As many black olives your little heart desires!
  • Pour the vinaigrette over the pasta and vegetables; mix well.
  • Salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow flavours to blend.
  • Remove from the refrigerator for about a half an hour before serving.
  • You can use many types of pasta ie: rotini, farfalle, penne.
  • You can half the recipe by cutting down the amount of pasta -- but I would still make the same amount of vinaigrette.
  • It's way too yummy!
  • Enjoy !

  1. Oh boy! This so good! I did add an extra clove of garlic, 'cause we love it. I used rotini. I had planned on taking it to a potluck lunch, but we encountered a snow storm and couldn't go, so we'll be eating it for the next few days, since it yielded quite a bit. LoL! :)
     
  2. YUM! I made 4-5 servings with whole wheat Rotelle pasta, white wine vinegar, cherry medley tomatoes, kalamata olives, kosher course salt and course black pepper. I wish I had used the full amount of vinaigrette but didn't see your note until too late. It was still GREAT! Made for the Photo tag game.
     
  3. I played with this a little, but think it still has the same basic integrity of the recipe. I used more parsley, a combination of sun dried and regular tomatoes, and added some capers and marinated artichokes to it too (so, I did not add any extra oil). It was a great dish!
     
  4. I made this for DH's lunch and he loved it. I did leave out the feta cheese since he doesn't like it. Made for 123 HITS
     
  5. I halved the recipe, but wished I hadn't halved the dressing. Mine was a little dry, but I blame that on halving the recipe. I added extra garlic, and sprinkled more feta on top when serving. I also took advantage and added extra black olives! I enjoyed this very much. Made this for Everyday is a Holiday tag!
