I to try this recipe because of the fresh ingredients, I found a greek salad dressing recipe. Cut the amount of pasta and doubled the veggies. Thank you so much!! Yummy!!

Had to make a "greek pasta" salad for kids at school learning about Greece. Many parents were there. I found this recipe (but did not taste it myself as I can't stand olives. However, I had about 10 teachers/parents come up begging for the recipe - they said it was the best they ever had. There were about 6 other pasta salads there - they remained barely touched while my DOUBLED RECIPE was completely wiped out. They say it is addictive and you can't stop eating it.

I love this! I used baby spinach and threw in a cucumber. I also only used monterey jack cheese, but I love feta, so next time, tons of it. What a great salad to serve for guests or a side dish at a barbeque. Yummy.

Wonderful salad! I took this to a large gathering where several salads were available - this one was the only empty bowl at the end. The only extra thing I added was some sliced cucumber. Thanks for posting!
