Easy Pasta
Quick and easy, this recipe is the perfect way to showcase fresh seasonal veggies.
It’s a great canvas for leftovers – toss in chopped chicken, leftover roasted veggies or cheeses you have on hand.
Potluck perfect, this vibrant, flavorful salad is best made ahead of time.
Prepare a double batch and voila! Serve it as a side at a summer cookout and keep a bowl for yourself as a light dinner or for workday lunches all week long.
Pasta – Any medium pasta shape works. Favorites include rotini pasta (or tri-color rotini), bow ties, or penne. Pasta with holes, ridges, or curls hold the dressing better.
Vegetables – Cherry tomatoes, bell peppers, and cucumbers are a great combo for color and crunch but really, any veggie goes. Try spring peas, corn kernels, sliced radishes, chopped spinach, or sundried tomatoes!
Add a scoop of pesto, kalamata olives, or tapenade for a bold flavor.
Add chicken, shrimp, or bacon bits for some extra protein.
Swap out the feta for other cheeses like cubed mozzarella cheese or cheddar.
Boost the flavor with marinated artichokes, or a squeeze of lemon juice.
Fresh herbs like basil, dill, or parsley add freshness and look pretty as a garnish. Fresh basil is best added before serving but dill or parsley can be added when preparing.
