Ahem...we may or may not have liked this salad so much that we had it twice in a two-week period...This pasta salad is amazing! Everyone loved it. Even HB. I made a simple Caesar Dressing to go with it. Recipe follows:
Greek Pasta Salad
1 1/2 c. uncooked penne pasta
1/2 c. cubed cooked turkey or chicken
1 can sliced ripe olives, drained
1/4 c. chopped green pepper
1/4 c. chopped sweet red pepper
1/4 c. crumbled feta cheese
1/3 c. Caesar salad dressing
Cook pasta according to package directions; drain and rinse in cold water. In a serving bowl, combine the pasta, turkey, olives, peppers and feta cheese. Drizzle with dressing and toss to coat. Cover and refrigerate until serving.
