SPECTACULAR SPAGHETTI SALAD



Spectacular Spaghetti Salad image

This started with evelyn/athens' Macaroni Salad (63733) and morphed based on the ingredients I had on hand and my personal tastes. I brought it to a BBQ and my foodie friend pronounced it spectacular, so I had to post the recipe! BTW, the cooking time is actually refrigeration time.

1/2 pound fusilli (spirals) pasta
Kosher salt
Good olive oil
1 pound ripe tomatoes, medium-diced
3/4 cup good black olives, such as kalamata, pitted and diced
1 pound good feta cheese, medium-diced
6 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained and chopped
5 sun-dried tomatoes in oil, drained
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
6 tablespoons good olive oil

1 teaspoon kosher salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan
1 cup packed flat-leaf parsley, chopped

Steps:

Drain well and allow to cool. Place the pasta in a bowl and add the tomatoes, olives, feta and chopped sun-dried tomatoes.
  • For the dressing, combine the sun-dried tomatoes, vinegar, olive oil, garlic, capers, salt and pepper in a food processor until almost smooth.
  • Pour the dressing over the pasta, sprinkle with the Parmesan and parsley, and toss well.

SPAGHETTI SALAD WITH TOMATOES, FETA AND PESTO SAUCE (CAN BE GF)



Spaghetti Salad With Tomatoes, Feta and Pesto Sauce (Can Be Gf) image

This is a loosely mediterranian inspired spaghetti salad. It is packed with flavour and just a little different due to the use of spaghetti instead of penne pasta. If you like feel free to add in other veggies of your choice (celery, carrot, bell pepper, broccoli, olives). It can be gluten-free if you ensure that your pasta is gluten-free (corn, rice, quinoa, millet, soy) and your pesto sauce also. I hope youll enjoy this salad as much as we do! :)
