GREEK PASTA SALAD

Greek Pasta Salad image

Chock-full of tomato, red and green pepper and tricolor spirals, this full-flavored Greek pasta salad is as attractive as it is delicious. I add feta cheese and black olives to the medley before coating it with a speedy homemade dressing. -Dawna Waggoner, Minong, Wisconsin
