Adding pasta turns a typical Greek salad into a lively main dish. Any short pasta shape will work if you don’t have shells on hand.
Ingredients
- 10 oz. medium shell pasta
- 2 large ripe but firm tomatoes, diced (2 1/2 cups)
- 1 medium green bell pepper, cut into short, narrow strips (1 cup)
- 1/2 medium red onion, thinly sliced
- 4 oz. feta cheese, crumbled
- 1/3 cup Greek black olives, pitted if desired
- 1/3 cup low-fat vinaigrette, or to taste
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh dill
Preparation
1. Bring large pot of water to a boil. Add 1 tablespoon salt and pasta, stirring to prevent sticking. Cook pasta until just tender. Drain; rinse under cold running water and drain well.
2. Transfer pasta to large bowl. Add remaining ingredients and toss gently until well combined. Serve at room temperature.
