Greek Pasta Salad for Your Favorite Picnic

Greek Pasta Salad, with tangy tomatoes and salty feta cheese, makes a fantastic picnic accompaniment. Al dente pasta is a delicious base for the simple dressing that graces this dish. And the oil and vinegar dressing does a great job at holding flavor, without becoming weird and icky, like a mayo based dressing. So if you take Greek Pasta Salad to a picnic, the dressing can take the heat without changing! And with the summer months coming quick, Greek Pasta Salad is perfect.

Need an even Simpler Dressing for Greek Pasta Salad?

If you are in a hurry, or don’t want to have bottles of olive oil or vinegar around the house, grab a bottle of your favorite Greek dressing at the grocery store. One of my favorites is Newman’s Own Greek Vinaigrette dressing. It has a fantastic fresh flavor that is just like homemade. Choose a dressing you love, and you’ll have a Greek Pasta Salad that is the best you’ve ever had!
