Whipped Feta Greek Pasta Salad #pastasalad #dinner #recipe

Creamy whipped feta meets classic Greek salad flavors in this craveable pasta salad. The dressing alone will have you making this on repeat!

We’re taking a classic Greek salad, adding some pasta, and making the most amazing whipped feta dressing for it. This is a pasta salad that you have got to try. Start by boiling one lb of rotini pasta according to the package directions. While the pasta is cooking, we’ll go ahead and prep all of our vegetables. Dice half of a red onion. We’ll also dice one red bell pepper. I like using red for the little sweetness. You’ll also dice one cucumber. And you can leave the peel on or peel it off. Either way is fine. You’ll also want to have one pint of either cherry or grape tomatoes. Add in some sliced calamata olives. And you have all of the fixings for a traditional Greek salad. But of course, this isn’t just a Greek salad. This is a Greek pasta salad. So, we’re going to keep on going. Go ahead and drain the pasta and transfer that to a large mixing bowl. We’re going to pour a/4 cup of red wine vinegar over top while it’s still warm. Give it a stir and we’ll set it aside to cool. The pasta will soak up all of that vinegar flavor and give us a nice tangy bite. Next up, it’s time for our dressing. We’re going to make this in a blender to make it nice and creamy. You’ll need 1 cup of plain Greek yogurt, 1 cup of crumbled feta cheese, 3 tablespoon of lemon juice, and I like to use freshlysqueezed. 2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil.
