I found this delicious pasta salad recipe (in the Vera Bradley Fall Catalog of all places). I made it yesterday and just ate it for lunch and it was so yummy.
1 16oz.box of tubular pasta (I used whole wheat penne pasta for some added nutritional value)
1 bunch of spinach, cleaned, torn into bite size pieces.
1 red onion, diced
2 large tomatoes, diced
2 cucumbers, peeled, seeded, and diced
1 can olives, sliced, drained
16 oz. pkg. feta cheese, crumbled
1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese
3/4 cup olive oil
1/3 cup red wine vinegar
2 Tbsp. Dijon Mustard
1 Tbsp. Parmesan Cheese
Salt and pepper to taste
Cook pasta according to package, drain. In a large bowl combine pasta, spinach, onion, tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, feta cheese, and parmesan cheese. Mix well.
In a small bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar, mustard, and parmesan cheese. Pour vinaigrette over pasta salad and mix well. Add salt and pepper.
Make a day in advance to allow flavors to blend.
Enjoy!
