Greek pasta salad ingredients:

• English cucumber
• grape tomatoes
• orange bell pepper (red or green will work too)
• pitted olives
• feta cheese
• red onion
• greek vinaigrette dressing

How to make greek pasta salad:

Cook pasta until al dente. Rinse under cold water and cool completely.

In a large bowl combine pasta, and all the other ingredients.

Stir to combine.

Store, covered,  in the refrigerator for at least 2 hours. Serve.

Notes: I like to stir in about ¼ cup extra dressing right before I serve it and sprinkle with more feta cheese. It looks fancier at a potluck and also enhances the flavor. Enjoy!

More tips for this Greek pasta salad with feta:

Now this recipe is already incredibly simple but there are a few tips to make it even easier I wanted to share. This recipe calls for diced onions and bell peppers.

Another time saving tip is to use a small food chopper or food processor to quickly and easily chop the onions and peppers.

If you do not have one of these, I highly recommend them. They are such a time saver and you make cooking so fast and easy.

After you have what you need for the Greek Salad, freeze the rest for other recipes. I usually just chop the entire vegetable and freeze what I don’t need.

It’s so nice to be able to just take the diced onion out of the freezer for recipes. This is how I meal prep. It’s so quick and easy and helps get dinner on the table fast.

Learn and  how to freeze onions and also how to freeze peppers to save so much time in the kitchen! Lots of the recipes we cook call for onions and peppers so this is such a great time tip that we use frequently.

We love making this because it is so tasty and versatile. You can easily substitute various types of pasta.

Sometimes we also use red wine vinaigrette. The red wine vinegar is good with the Greek dressing.  I have also used red wine vinegar lemon juice mixture and it was fabulous.

Add more or less veggies to your liking. This pasta salad is so easy to make based on your family. I love red onion so I add extra of that.
