Greek Pasta Salad with Feta, Tomato, Kalamata Olives and Sweet Basil Vinaigrette

I love this summery Greek pasta salad - the salty feta cheese and kalamata olives are a great pair with the fresh flavor of the Sweet Basil Vinaigrette. Keeps great in the fridge - so make it a day in advance.

Equipment

  • Stockpot or Large Saucepan

Ingredients

  • 1 lb Orecchiette Pasta (or other pasta of choice)
  • 1 Tbsp Olive Oil
  • 1 pint Cherry Tomatoes, sliced
  • 1 1/2 cups Crumbled Feta Cheese
  • 1 cup pitted Kalamata Olives, sliced
  • 10 leaves fresh Italian Sweet Basil, roughly chopped
  • 1 recipe Sweet Basil Vinaigrette

Instructions

  • Cook the pasta according to package directions. When cooked, drain and run under cool water. Transfer to a large mixing bowl and add the olive oil. Toss well to coat the pasta in oil.
