Pasta Salad

Sometimes you need something quick and easy that you know everyone one will eat. In the summer months, that's when I default to a Pasta Salad!




Ingredients (Salad):
1 - Box of Bow Tie or Penne Pasta
1/2 - Red Onion
1/2 - Cup of Sliced Black Olives
1/3 - Cup of Crumbled Feta Cheese
1/2 - Cup Tomatoes (Plum or Roma)

Ingredients (Dressing):
1 - Clove Garlic
2 - Tbsp Red Wine Vinegar
2 - Tbsp Olive Oil
1 - Tsp Lemon Juice
1/4 - Tsp Salt
1/4 - Tsp Pepper



Directions:
Put a pot of water on high heat and bring to a boil. Once at a rolling boil add the Pasta. In the meantime, continue on with the steps below.


Chop up the Onion and Tomatoes then set them aside with the Sliced Black Olives and Crumbled Feta.





Chop up the Garlic and put it in a small container (that you have a lid for so you can shake it) with the Red Wine Vinegar, Olive Oil, Lemon Juice, Salt and Pepper. Shake everything together.



Drain the Pasta into a strainer and rinse under cold water until cooled.


Put into a bowl.


Add the chopped Onion, Tomato, sliced olives and crumbled feta. Pour the dressing over top and them mix everything together.


Cover and place in the fridge for 20 minutes or serve right away.
