Shrimp Pasta Salad With Feta, Sun-dried Tomatoes and Olives

"Our favorite pasta salad chock-full of things we love! Can be made without the shrimp, but with the shrimp you've only got to add a loaf of crusty bread for a perfect make-ahead summer meal. Cooking time includes 1 hour cooling and 1 hour chilling time."

  1. This was REALLY good! I added marinated artichoke hearts too...since I have an enormous jar from Costco to use up...and it really complimented the dish. This is such a nice change from regular salad on a hot Las Vegas evening! Hubby fully agrees that this a keeper! Thanks!
     
  2. Ohhhh This stuff is goodddddddd!!!! We all really enjoyed this salad. I can't wait to make it again. Thanks for posting it for us Flemish!
     
  3. The sauce really makes this. I use it on practically every Mediterranean style pasta salad I make. It was a big hit with penne, chunks of salami and mozzarella, artichoke hearts, fresh tomatoes and basil. Thanks for sharing!
     
  4. This was absolutely delicious. I made it for a family bbq and it was a bit hit. I used cheese filled tortellini instead of the fusilli, and it was awesome. I will definitely be making this again!
     
  5. Thanks as above says it all,awesome!

RECIPE SUBMITTED BY

I am an American married to a Belgian, and have lived in Belgium since December 1999. Cooking is my major hobby. I'm also an avid reader, but I have difficulty finding the time. I love to travel. Since moving to Europe I've been lucky enough to have had the opportunity to go a couple of times per year to Paris, as well as having visited London, Rome, Florence, Naples, Amsterdam, and of course Brussels and Antwerp. I've seen at least parts of most regions of France, as well as parts of Germany, Austria, a great deal of Switzerland, Slovenia, Croatia, Luxembourg, and Monaco. I'm absolutely in love with the Bay of Naples and Sorrento coast areas of Italy, which my husband and I recently re-visited on a trip that included Rome, Puglia, Umbria and Marche. I'm still looking forward to Ireland, Spain, Portugal, the Czech Republic . . . the list is too long ! One of the bonuses of travel is getting to taste the local cuisine, and afterward trying to figure out how to duplicate it at home. I think cooking is one of the nicest things a person can do for someone they love (including themself!) I had to submit a picture with me and my cat, Sophie, as she insists on sitting in my lap when I'm sitting at the computer. If you are wondering what all that stuff hanging on the wall behind us in the photo is, it is just a small part of my husband's military medal collection. He was appalled by my posting this picture-- Our study is the messiest room in our house (thank god!)
