Pasta Salads are always a good idea and they are my go-to dishes! They are simply so easy to make and everyone loves them. You can also dress them up (or down) in so many ways. This time I tried a light refreshing style pasta salad and added a Mediterranean twist to it. You can snack on this or eat is as a meal..Occasionally I add grilled chicken to this too!
Mediterranean Pasta Salad Auto
Light and zesty pasta salad with a crunch of fresh goodness in every bite
Ingredients
- 1 pound of Rotelle pasta (wheel shapped pasta)
- 1 can of artichoke hearts; drained and chopped
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives; sliced
- 1/4 cup Italian salad dressing
- 1/2 cup pesto
- 1/2 cup feta cheese; crumbled
- 1/3 cup cherry tomatoes; sliced in half
- 1/2 cup corn
- 3 Tbsp green onions; thinly sliced
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil and season with salt. Once the water starts to boil, add pasta and cook according to its boxed directions. Once pasta is cooked, drain, and let cool.
- Once pasta is cooled, add to a large mixing bowl and stir on, italian dressing, pesto until pasta is completely covered in dressings.
- Add in olives, artichoke hearts, feta cheese, tomatoes, corn, and green onions. Mix until everything is combined then garnish with more green onions. Let sit for about 20 minutes (this will make all of the flavors come together). Best when enjoyed cold.
