Kellys Greek Pasta Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Cool the pasta in boiling water until al dente; drain then rinse well under cold water.
• Place the pasta in a large bowl.
• Add in cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, onion, olives and cubed feta cheese; toss to combine.
• For the dressing; in a processor place the garlic clove and process until minced.
• Add in all the remaining ingredients except the mayonnaise;process until well blended (about 20-30 seconds) then add in the mayonnaise and process until combined.
• Pour over the salad ingredients in the bowl; toss to combine (if you prefer a creamier salad then add in more mayonnaise to taste).
• Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the penne, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 11 minutes. Rinse with cold water and drain well in a colander set in the sink.
• Whisk together the vinegar, lemon juice, garlic, oregano, salt, pepper, and olive oil. Set aside. Combine pasta, tomatoes, onion, green and red peppers, cucumber, olives, and feta cheese in a large bowl. Pour vinaigrette over the pasta and mix together. Cover and chill for 3 hours before serving.
