Ingredients
For the dressing:
- 1 cup plain Greek yogurt (full-fat, 2% or non-fat)
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or avocado oil
- Juice of 1 lemon (about ¼ cup)
- ½ teaspoon lemon zest
- 1 ½ teaspoon dried oregano (may sub basil or dill)
- 2 garlic cloves, minced (or 1 teaspoon garlic powder)
- ½ teaspoon sea salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For the salad:
- 12 oz uncooked pasta, any shape (gluten-free, if needed)
- 2 tablespoon fresh dill, chopped (or 2 teaspoon dried dill)
- 1 medium cucumber, sliced ¼ inch thick and quartered (about 1 ½ – 2 cups)
- 1 ½ cups grape or cherry tomatoes, halved or quartered
- 1 bell pepper (yellow, red or orange or mix), diced (about 1 cup)
- ½ medium red onion, diced (about ¾ cup)
- 6 oz. feta cheese (¾ cup) + more to sprinkle on top, if desired
- ½ cup kalamata olives, halved
Instructions
- Prepare pasta according to the package directions. Once cooked, drain in a colander and run under cold water to cool.
- While the pasta is cooking, chop the veggies and make the dressing by combining the dressing ingredients in a bowl. Mix well and set aside.
- In a large bowl add all of the salad ingredients. About 30 minutes before serving, pour the dressing over top and toss gently until well combined.
Notes
- Toss the salad about 30 minutes before serving to allow time for the dressing to really soak in.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 5 days. Add more dressing if needed before serving.
