Greek Pasta Salad















I love Greek salad, and I love pasta. Combine the two, and you have my favorite summer side dish. Feels weird talking about summer right now, as Edmonton has had a bit of a cold snap and the weather is miserable. But, no matter the weather, this Greek pasta salad is delicious.

Rebekah's Greek Pasta Salad
Ingredients
a box of pasta (I used what I had on hand, which was half a box of whole wheat penne, and half a box of tortiglioni, and a small amount of bowties)
1/2 a cucumber, peeled and cut into chunks
1 red bell pepper, diced
1 yellow bell pepper, diced
1/2 red onion, diced or cut into thin slices
1/2 pint of grape tomatoes (left whole, halved or quartered)
half a cup (or more) of feta, cut into cubes
juice of one lemon
2-3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
1 tbsp dried oregano

1) Cook the pasta according to directions, drain and set aside to cool
2) Combine the rest of the ingredients in a large bowl. Add the cooled pasta and mix.
3) Eat, enjoy
