My Big Fat Greek Pasta Salad image

This is my sister's creation that she often brings to gatherings. (I took the liberty of naming it) It is always a crowd pleaser. Easy to prepare and produces a large quantity. I use my Penzey's Greek Seasoning to make up my dressing and switch up the pasta shape each time but otherwise stick to the recipe. A colorful salad the children like to eat.

Time 1h15m

Yield 1 salad, 8-10 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb bow tie pasta (or whatever shape you desire)
1/2 cup red onion, chopped
1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1 pint cherry tomatoes or 1 pint grape tomatoes, halved
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
16 ounces greek vinaigrette (sis uses Kraft)
1/2 cup sliced olive (Kalamata or black)

Steps:

  • Cook pasta until al-dente. Drain.
  • Add chopped veggies, feta cheese, and 2/3 of the bottle of dressing. Stir well and refrigerate at least 2 hours. (I do this the night before the day I serve it)
  • Dressing will be absorbed by the pasta during refrigeration. Stir in remainder of dressing before serving.
