GREEK DRESSING
1/2 c sour cream
1/4 c mayonnaise
4 tsp cavender's all purpose greek seasoning
1/8 c balsamic vinegar
1/4 c apple cider vinegar
2 tsp granulated garlic or garlic powder
2 Tbsp honey
2 Tbsp tahini
3 tsp olive oil
1/4 tsp salt
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1/4 c grated parmesan cheese
SALAD
1 lb farfalle (bow tie) pasta
12 oz marinated artichoke hearts, diced
2 can(s) large pitted black olives, halfed
12 oz feta cheese, crumbled
16 oz baby spinach
2 pt grape tomatoes, halfed
2 pt mushrooms, quartered
6 oz sun dried tomatoes, chopped
1 large purple onion, sliced thin
1 large english cucumbers, seeded and diced
2 large red peppers, sliced
1 tsp fresh mint, chopped

Steps:

  • 1. FOR DRESSING: Combine all ingredients and whisk together. Taste for salt and pepper and adjust as needed. This will make a lot of dressing, so don't just pour it over the salad.
  • 2. Cook, drain, and cool pasta.
  • 3. Add pasta, spinach, and all other vegetables and cheese to a large bowl. Toss to combine ingredients evenly.
  • 4. Add dressing, about a half cup and toss. This is where you decide how much or how little dressing you desire.
  • 5. You could add grilled chicken, grilled shrimp, or grilled tenderloin to make this a main dish. This is a very cool dish for those hot summer days.

FARFALLE PASTA SALAD MEDITERRANEAN STYLE

Farfalle Pasta Salad Mediterranean Style is a great pasta salad with super fresh ingredients like cucumbers, tomatoes, onions, and peppers. Kalamata Olives, marinated artichokes and feta cheese, combine to enhance those Mediterranean flavors. Dressed with a red wine based vinaigrette, instead of mayo, makes for super light and refreshing spin on a classic.
