Greek Bow Tie Pasta Salad Recipes

THE BEST EASY GREEK PASTA SALAD RECIPE!

Steps:

• Cook pasta according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water.
• Meanwhile, prepare the dressing. Combine ingredients from vinegar through feta cheese crumbles and mix thoroughly. I use my handheld milk frother for this but you can whisk it too. Then, while whisking, slowly drizzle in olive oil. Alternately, combine all dressing ingredients in a jar or bottle and shake to combine.
• Combine all pasta salad ingredients in a large bowl. Top with dressing and toss to thoroughly combine.

• Mix the cooled pasta, broccoli, tomatoes, sliced green onions, celery, red bell pepper, and green bell pepper in a large bowl.
• Gently stir the salad dressing, Parmesan cheese, sugar, basil, and salt in a bowl until evenly mixed.
