    Raise your hand if you LOVE pasta salad! If you ask me, it really is the perfect addition to any meal. Not only is it satisfying... and easy to make... but there are SO many different possibilities!

    This Greek Pasta Salad is one of our all time favorites. It's packed with fresh tomatoes, cucumbers, bell peppers, Kalamata olives, and feta cheese... and the homemade dressing gives it the BEST flavor.

    The other thing that makes this salad so perfect? The noodle to veggie ratio. Unlike some pasta salads, which are way too noodle heavy, this one is the opposite. Light on the noodles, heavy on the veggies and cheese. Which - if you ask me - is exactly how pasta salad should be!
