Greek Pasta Salad
Source: The Cozy Cook
1. Boil the pasta al dente and drain. Spread it out on a tray or parchment paper and drizzle with 1-2 tablespoons of olive oil. Let it cool.
2. Meanwhile, prepare your veggies, cheese, parsley and homemade dressing, (if using).
3. Combine the salad ingredients in a large bowl and toss with dressing. If possible, chill 2 hours prior to serving.
4. If preparing 8-12 hours ahead of time: Toss with about 1/2 cup additional dressing prior to serving, as the
pasta continues to absorb the dressing during storage.
Pro Tips
* Be sure to use a timer when you boil your pasta to ensure that you don't overcook it.
* I like to cook it for 30 seconds less than al dente, as it cools gradually, during which time it finishes cooking.
* Salt the pasta water well to ensure that the pasta itself has plenty of flavor. I use 2 tbsp. kosher salt.
Storage
* Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to 3 days. asta continues to absorb the dressing during storage.
