Greek-alicious Pasta Salad image

I was craving carbs and a Greek salad one day and that led to this wonderful creation. Greek dressing is so underrated, but in this recipe it is the star! This is a nice, light salad that showcases chick peas, radishes, cucumbers and feta cheese.

Time 30m

Yield 10

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 ½ cups bow tie (farfalle) pasta
1 cup Greek salad dressing
2 ½ tablespoons mayonnaise
4 radishes, finely chopped
½ cucumber, peeled and chopped
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
¾ cup crumbled feta cheese

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the bow tie pasta and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Place the Greek dressing and mayonnaise into a large salad bowl, and whisk together until smooth and well blended. Add the cooked pasta, and stir lightly to coat the pasta. Sprinkle on the radishes, cucumber, garbanzo beans, and crumbled feta cheese, and fold in gently.
  • Cover the salad and refrigerate until ready to serve.

I cooked the pasta al dente, which gave the salad a nice chewy texture.

I'm not a big fan of bell peppers, so I omitted them from this recipe. It was still delicious!

I would recommend using a good quality olive oil for this salad. It really makes a difference in the flavor.

I love the addition of Kalamata olives in this salad. They add a nice salty flavor.

This salad is a great way to use up leftover grilled chicken or shrimp.

I found the dressing to be a little too oily for my taste. I would suggest using half the amount of olive oil called for in the recipe.

I would definitely recommend adding some crumbled feta cheese to this salad. It really takes it to the next level.

I love the tangy dressing in this pasta salad. It's the perfect balance of sweet and sour.
