Greek Pasta Salad

Sarah_Jayne's Note:

If you like a Greek salad then this pasta salad that takes the flavors of a Greek salad could be for you. I originally found this recipe in BBC Good Food Magazine.

• Total Time: 20 mins
• Prep Time: 5 mins
• Cook Time: 15 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 4

• 10 ½ ounces fusilli , another pasta shape would work too
• 8 ounces baby spinach , fresh
• 9 ounces cherry tomatoes , halved
• 3 ½ ounces black olives
• 7 ounces feta cheese , broken into rough chunks
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions:

1. Tip the fusilli into a large pan of boiling salted water and boil for 10 minutes.
2. Throw in the spinach, stir well and boil for another 2 minutes. Drain into a colander or sieve and leave to drip-dry.
3. Tip the tomatoes, olives and feta into a big bowl, grind lots of black pepper over and then drizzle with the olive oil.
4. Toss in the drained pasta and spinach.
5. Serve.

My guests left this salad on their plates uneaten...until my daughter politely told me that it had no flavor and that I should add some dressing. I did and it was much better. I would make this again with a few tweaks.

A wonderful change from the mayo-slopped variety. I used some lovely kalamata olives and added some red onion to bump it up a notch. Superb light flavor and a great summer side dish. Made for ZWT6 by a Looney Spoon Phoodie.
