BEST POTATO SALAD RECIPE

Mediterranean Pasta Salad

This Mediterranean Pasta Salad recipe is easy to make and tossed with a yummy lemon-herb vinaigrette.

Now that the weather’s warming up, it’s high time for the season of picnics, grill-outs, and patio parties to begin! Finally!!

So to celebrate, I thought it was only appropriate to cool off some hot pasta, toss it with a bunch of fresh and zesty ingredients, and toss it in a bowl that’s perfect for passing around the picnic. That’s right, I made you some pasta salad!

Because if memory serves me right, you all sure seem to love a good pasta salad. Last time I checked, my favorite 5-Ingredient Pasta Salad was still one of the top recipes on this site (and one of my all-all-all-time favorites). Not to mention this spring-y Asparagus & Arugula Pasta Salad, or this lightened-up Chicken Caesar Pasta Salad, or this sweet Strawberry Caprese Pasta Salad, that you also have seemed to enjoy. So for something new this year, I thought I’d try a simple Mediterranean twist on the classic pasta salad, chocked full of fresh veggies and olives, sprinkles with plenty of feta, and tossed in a zesty lemon-herb vinaigrette.

• ripe cherry tomatoes (or you could use sun-dried tomatoes)


• thinly- sliced red onion (feel free to soak it in cold water beforehand if you want a less onion-y taste)


• feta cheese galore (I used reduced-fat)


• your favorite kind of pasta
