I love this. This was quick and easy to make. It tastes great. I added black olives to it. 5 stars.

This was a delicious pasta salad that was slightly different from all the other Greek pasta salads I've had. I did cheat a little, but I believe I kept to the spirit of the recipe. I used some cooked chicken breast that I had leftover, rather than cooking some with the garlic. Therefore, I added a touch of garlic powder to the salad to get the garlic flavor. I also did not use bowtie pasta, but mini penne (don't ask me why, but my DBF has an aversion to bow tie pasta). I also used about 20 grape tomatoes, halved. The result was a tasty salad that packed well for lunch. Thanks for sharing! Made for Please Review My Recipe Tag game.
