Greek Pasta Salad (Recipe)

Ingredients

For the salad

• 3 cups uncooked whole grain pasta or pasta of choice
  
• 1 red pepper chopped
  
• 1 green pepper chopped
  
• 6 oz spinach , fresh, chopped
  
• 1 small red onion chopped
  
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
• 3 mini cucumbers (or 3/4 English cucumber) chopped
• 1 cup little tomatoes (grape, cherry, etc.) halved
• 5 ounces crumbled feta
• Salt & pepper to taste

For the dressing

• 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  
• 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (Kasadrinos **FREE Bottle**)
  
• 1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
  
• 1 clove garlic minced
  
• 1 teaspoon fresh parsley chopped
• 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
• Juice from 2 to 3 lemon wedges, optional

Instructions

• 1.  Boil a large, salted pot of water and cook pasta al dente according to package directions. Once it's cooked, drain it and run it under cool water. Let it drain thoroughly..

• 2. Meanwhile, while the pasta is cooking, get all your other ingredients ready. Add the dressing ingredients to a jar and shake vigorously. You may need to add more oil or vinegar depending on your tastes.

• 3. Assemble the pasta salad in a large bowl. Toss with the dressing and season with salt & pepper as needed (I added a fair bit of salt because there's a lot of pasta). Either serve the pasta salad right away or refrigerate until the flavors meld a bit. 

Enjoy!!!
