Pasta Salad W/Feta and Cherry Tomatoes created by Nif_H

Easy peasy :-) Nice salad for summer; also good to serve as a side to chicken, sausages, burgers etc. This salad is even better the next day; so can be made in advance

This is a great salad! Loved the dressing....very different! The mix of textures and colors makes this a beautiful dish. I halved the recipe, and it still made quite a lot :) Made for PRMR tag.

I totally didn't look at the recipe when I "made sure I had everything". So we didn't have green onions, carrots or balsamic vinegar. I also had to sub the jam for raspberry (we don't usually have strawberry jam in the house). However, even with all the "forgottens" this was a great salad! I loved the dressing. I think I'll skip the pepper next time though

Thanks Deantini! This was delicious and the portion sizes are very generous. :) I made it exactly as listed and can't think of anything that I would change. I enjoyed my lunch a lot today! Made for Ramadan Tag. Thanks!

We really enjoyed this salad. I used water in place of the oil and only used 1/4 tsp of salt. Thanks for the recipe.
