I typically don't eat pasta salads because they are mayo based and I am not a big fan of mayo. This pasta sald is so easy to make and is so delicious (not to mention healthy) and the feta cheese gives it such an yummy touch. I like to make it and eat it with the noodles still a bit warm for dinner and then as a cold salad the next day for lunch.
3 cups whole wheat rotini pasta cooked and drained
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup crumbled feta cheese
1 cup halved cherry (or sliced garden) tomatoes
1 cup chopped cucumber
1 cup fresh chopped zucchini and or yellow squash
1/2 cup sliced black olives
1/4 cup chopped red onions (I am not a fan of raw onions so I usually leave out)
1/2 cup zesty italian dressing
Cook pasta according to directions and drain. Slice all vegetables. Mix pasta, vegetables, zesty italian dressing (click here for dressing recipe) and cheese. Serve warm or cold.
