Feta and Vegetable Rotini Salad is filled with pasta, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, and feta. This is an easy and tasty pasta salad that’s great for potlucks!
PASTA SALAD RECIPE
Pasta salads are staples at BBQs potlucks. I love this one because it doesn’t have a mayonnaise based dressing and is perfect for outdoor gatherings. It’s super easy and can easily be doubled, tripled…okay – I actually made this for 250 women one time. You’ll love it.
WHEN USING UNPEELED CUCUMBERS
When using unpeeled cucumbers, be sure to scrub them before chopping. If the cucumber has been heavily waxed, then peel it before chopping it.
TIPS
Substitute other vegetables as desired. If cherry tomatoes are not available, use coarsely chopped plum tomatoes instead. Or, substitute chopped red and/or green peppers for the cucumbers.
