Spinach Pasta Salad with Feta and Tomato
Spinach, feta, red onion and tomato team up to add lots of flavor to this tasty Spinach Pasta Salad! I used bowl-shaped orecchiette pasta but any shape works great!
Servings 8 servings
Calories 255kcal
Ingredients
- 12 oz orecchiette pasta
- 2 cups chopped fresh spinach
- 1-2 cups fresh diced tomatoes
- 1/4-1/2 cup finely diced red onion
- ½ cup crumbled feta cheese
GREEK VINAIGRETTE
- 1 lemon (juiced)
- ¼ cup olive oil or avocado oil
- 1 TBSP red wine vinegar
- 1-2 cloves garlic (smashed and minced)
- ½ tsp dried parsley
- ¼ tsp dried basil
- ¼ tsp dried oregano leaves
- ⅛ tsp sea salt
- ⅛ tsp black pepper
Instructions
- Frist whisk together your dressing. Juice 1 lemon and combine with remaining ingredients in a small mason jar. Secure lid tightly and shake to combine. Shake again before using.
- Prefer a different dressing? Go for it! Bottled dressing can work great in a pinch and this salad also works marvelously with Italian dressing!
- Cook pasta in water via package instructions until tender.
- Drain in a colander and add to a large bowl.
- Combine with spinach, tomato, onion, and feta. Give dressing another shake, pour over salad, and mix well.
- Enjoy as is (I always dig into a bowl right away) or chill before serving. Enjoy!
