Cold Pasta Salad

This is our 33rd consecutive day of temps over and well above 100 degrees.  It is sizzling HOT!!!

When it is that hot who wants to cook?  NOT ME!  When I went to the grocery store on Sunday I went knowing everything I would buy would have to be made, prepared or cooked on top of the stove.  NO oven this week!!!

So here is my Greek Pasta Salad.  There are two ingredients you must have to make this salad.  And I think they are what make it so yummy.  Greek dressing and feta cheese!!!!  I'll tell you the other ingredients I use, but I think the Greek dressing and feta are a must!!!!

Ingredients:
2 types of pasta
black olives
purple onion
bell pepper
Greek dressing
feta cheese

Chop your onion and bell pepper to desired size.  I prefer pretty small.  I buy the sliced black olives, but you could use the chopped.   On the bell pepper you could use any color.  This time I went with the green because they were 88 cents each and the yellow, orange or red were $1.99 each. 
Anyway add all veggies to a big bowl for mixing later.

Cook pasta according to box.  Rinse with cold water and add to veggies. 

Next add feta cheese.  I like a lot, but this a strong, funky cheese so you use what taste right to you.

Now add the dressing.......I always go light. You can always add more later. Stir and taste. 
Don't forget salt and pepper to too!

Serve with bread sticks, crackers or alone.  YUM!  Pasta salads are so versatile making it a great dish to try different veggies.  SUPER easy which you know is a must for me.  And relatively healthy......by the way I use whole wheat pasta.


And that is summer eating when it is 110 degrees outside!!!!!!!
