Greek Pasta Salad (Print Version)

# Ingredients:

→ Pasta Salad

01 - 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
02 - 1/2 English cucumber, finely chopped
03 - 2 cups dry, small-shaped pasta like ditalini or shells
04 - 3/4 cup chopped artichoke hearts in marinade
05 - 1 pint halved cherry tomatoes
06 - 1/3 cup black olives, sliced
07 - 2-3 tablespoons freshly chopped dill or parsley
08 - 1/2 cup minced red onion

→ Zesty Feta Dressing

09 - 1 teaspoon dried oregano
10 - 3/4 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper
11 - 3 tablespoons crumbled feta cheese
12 - 1 garlic clove, peeled
13 - 1 teaspoon honey
14 - 1/3 cup olive oil (extra virgin)
15 - 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
16 - 1/4 teaspoon coarse kosher salt

# Instructions:

01 - Cook pasta in salty boiling water until slightly firm to the bite. Drain it, rinse under cold water to cool, then move to a big bowl.
02 - Toss all dressing components into a blender and mix until smooth. If you don’t want to blend, simply stir feta and grated garlic into the whisked dressing.
03 - Combine the rest of the salad ingredients with the cooled pasta. Drizzle the dressing over everything and mix it all up. Sprinkle extra fresh herbs on top, if you’d like.

# Notes:

01 - You can prep this up to 3 days before serving.
02 - Stays fresh in the fridge for 5 days.
03 - If noodles dry out, splash a little olive oil to freshen them up.
