Our sister in-law Suzanne made us dinner the other night and it was terrific. She tried to copy it from a Greek salad she had tried at Costco. I loved the flavors that each of the ingredients brought to the dish. They blended together nicely. I really don't know what else to say besides it was a delicious pasta dish, one I will be making again soon.
Greek Pasta Salad
recipe from Suzanne
Makes a BIG bowl!
2 lb penne or rotini pasta, cooked
1 bottle Greek salad vinaigrette (Wishbone)
1 jar Greek olive blend, drained
1 container grape tomatoes
8 oz. pkg. Feta cheese
1 jar artichoke hearts, drained
1/2 red onion, chopped
cooked, cubed chicken, or rotesserie chicken shredded
First, cook your chicken (unless using a rotisserie chicken). Just season it with a little salt, pepper, and a little of the greek salad dressing. Suzanne also poured in some of the juice from the artichoke hearts to give it more flavor. I liked that idea. When chicken is cooked and cubed, set aside. Next, cook your pasta according to directions and drain. Place pasta in a large bowl. Combine with the rest of the ingredients, olives (drained), tomatoes, feta cheese, artichoke hearts (drained), and red onion. Now pour the vinaigrette on top and combine well. Use a little vinaigrette at a time, you may not want to use all of it, just however much you like. This dish is normally served cold, so refrigerate for a couple hours before serving! Serve with a side of garlic bread. Delish!

This looks delish Cami. Most pasta salads like this go with an Italian flavors and I am really digging that she went with Greek instead. :D Especially the feta and artichokes, it sounds like a perfect light meal for Summer.
