I am a sucker for a summer salad! Served up as a main dish or as a side with something off the grill, they are easy to whip up and perfect for a gatherings large and small. I love the flavors in this one and the lemon dressing is what makes this salad. Enjoy!
SUMMER PASTA SALAD WITH LEMON DRESSING
1 package of pasta
1 pint of cherry tomatoes, halved
1 cup kalamata olives, sliced
1/2 cup crumbled plain feta cheese
For the lemon dressing:
Juice of 1 lemon
1 clove of garlic, crushed
1/4 cup of extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, chop the cherry tomatoes and olives. In a large measuring cup, whisk ingredients for the dressing. Drain pasta, add tomatoes and olives. Add the dressing to the salad and combine well. Top with crumbled feta cheese. Cover and refrigerate at least 2 hours and serve.
