EASY GREEK PASTA SALAD
16 ounces short pasta (penne, bowtie, fusilli, etc)
1 English cucumber diced
1-pint grape tomatoes halved
1 bell pepper diced (yellow or orange)
1/2 cup pitted kalamata olives sliced
1/2 cup red onion diced
3 ounces of feta cheese crumbled
Greek Salad Dressing
1 large clove of garlic crushed
1/2 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1/4 cup lemon juice
2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Cook pasta al dente according to package directions. Rinse under cold water and transfer to a large bowl.
Add the cucumber, tomatoes, bell pepper, Kalamata olives, red onion, and feta cheese.
Combine garlic, oregano, lemon juice, red wine vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small jar. Slowly whisk in the extra virgin olive oil and season with salt and pepper. If using a mason jar, you can simply put the lid on and shake the jar until well combined.
Drizzle the dressing over the top and toss well. Chill for 2-3 hours before serving and enjoy!
NOTES
This salad is lightly dressed. If you like extra dressing on your pasta salad, feel free to 1.5x the dressing.
Store the leftover salad in an airtight storage container in the refrigerator for about 4 to 5 days. Before serving again, give it a good stir and taste + season again as needed. This salad is best served chilled.

There’s a secret to making the most refreshing summertime orzo pasta salad! My secret ingredient is freshly squeezed orange juice. The orange juice gives this salad the lightest most refreshing taste with a hint of sweetness. I encourage you to also add orange zest if you want more citrus in this dish.
This salad has crunch from the veggies, creaminess from the feta, and zest from the orange juice. It is the perfect summer dish.
Whenever I serve this salad on the table I get bombarded with questions on how to make it. Now that you know my secret, please give it a try this summer when you’re hosting or bring it along if you’re being hosted. I promise, this salad will be first to disappear from the table. This recipe is the perfect side for meal-prep and you can make it ahead of time.
INGREDIENTS
one small pack of orzo (340 grams) boiled to al-dente in salted water
¼ cup of olive oil, to taste to taste
½ cup freshly squeezed orange juice
3 finely diced mini cucumbers
2 finely diced tomatoes
½ finely diced bell pepper, to taste to taste
½ of a finely diced red onion I soaked mine in water for 20 minutes to make it milder
½ cup finely chopped fresh parsley to taste
1 tablespoon dry oregano
salt to taste
crumbled feta measure with your heart
olives are optional* I didn’t have any on hand
