Greek Pasta Salad Recipe

VEGAN

Greek Pasta Salad Recipe; This is not really a typically Greek dish. It is more of a Greek style pasta recipe. But who cares! It is delicious, healthy and a quick pasta salad to make!

I like to trade the common white pasta for a whole wheat version- healthier, but the “rustique flavor” is also giving it a more authentic Greek taste, a bit like my favorite Cretan Rusk Salad.

By adding salt and pepper to the vegetables in advance, the spices will draw out juice from the vegetables and create a very tasty dressing.

This dish is perfect for potluck, as picnic food, on a summer salad buffet or as a side dish for Barbeques.
