I love Greek saleds and this looks divine and I will try it out this weekend and it has lite ingredients
This looks really good. My Mom would love everything about, but I would pick out the cucumbers, lol.
This would go perfect with the Perfect Southern Sweet Tea on the list. I love pasta salad, any kind of pasta salad that is. SO good!
This looks so good and light. I’ll have to make this for summer eats instead of cooking.
I have never had a Greek pasta salad before. This looks really good but I am not a feta cheese fan so I would leave that off.
I love a good greek salad, something about feta and olives that always gets me.
This pasta salad looks amazing!
