What you need to make Greek Pasta Salad
Bow tie pasta
Tomatoes
Red onion
Cucumber
Black olives
Parsley
Feta
Olive oil
Greek seasoning- Try my Easy Greek Seasoning Blend instead of store-bought!
Vinegar
Dijon mustard
Honey
I used canned garlic and herb diced tomatoes because, being preserved, they will keep longer in the pasta salad. Also, they add flavor to the salad. You can use fresh tomato if you prefer. In addition to the canned tomatoes, I used canned whole black olives and sliced them. You can buy them already sliced. I store the leftovers in the canning liquid in a jar with a lid.
How to store feta cheese
Leftover feta cheese can be store safely under refrigeration using 3/4 cup of warm water mixed with 2 teaspoons of kosher salt. Whisk the salt into the water to dissolve. In a 2 cup capacity bowl, place the feta and cover it with the water. Cover it with a snuggly fit lid to store in the fridge.
Make great Greek pasta salad
To a bowl add the pasta, cucumber, tomato, red onion, black olives, and parsley.
In a separate bowl whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, mustard, honey, and Greek seasoning.
Coat the pasta well with the dressing and top with the crumbled feta.
Tips & Notes: You can choose to make individual serving sizes or a full bowl of Greek pasta salad. Simply prepare the salad ingredients and store them in separate containers. It’s a great option for particular eaters to choose what goes into their individual salad.
