Light Garden Greek Pasta Salad Recipes

GREEK GARDEN SALAD

In the summer, when my garden vegetables are in abundance, I serve this salad. We eat this pretty blend often. It's handy to make with convenient bottled Italian dressing. But don't put the dressing on too early or the vegetables will get too soggy.-Glenda Parsonage, Maple Creek, Saskatchewan

LITE GREEK PASTA SALAD

I make things really, really simple in the summer months. I mean....who wants to cook in all that heat (and I have AC!!) This is a very simple salad....not heavy in the dressing department, but with a nice clean lemony taste. I serve this with a grilled meat or fish and fresh fruit for dessert. Freshly cooked tuna, prawns or cooked chicken can be added for a more substantial meal

This is a great pasta salad that everyone always loves! I sometimes substitute rotini pasta or black olives. Makes a great meatless main dish meal along with some bread!
