Greek pasta salad is an excellent salad to have in your back pocket. It’s simple to shop for and quick to make. Serve this as a side dish, or turn it into dinner and top it with your favorite protein.

To create a well-seasoned and flavorful salad, we use brine in two ways: First, we add a couple of tablespoons of juice from a jar of pepperoncini peppers, which adds some pep and spice. Second, we buy feta cheese packed in brine and incorporate a couple of tablespoons of the cloudy, salty liquid into the dressing. While the pepperoncini and feta brine are optional, we highly recommend them if you have them available.

  • Greek Pasta Salad
  • 8 ounces (226g) short-cut pasta, such as bow-tie, fusilli, or penne
