Greek Feta Pasta Salad

If you need an easy salad recipe to bring to party or potluck, this Greek pasta salad is the perfect make-ahead salad. You’ll need to give it at least 2 hours to chill and allow the flavors to combine before serving which makes it ideal for make-ahead sides for a potluck.

Use whatever pasta shape you have on hand and you can change up the veggies too. Add in some cooked chicken to make it a complete meal.

Time-saving Tip

You can use store-bought dressing in place of the homemade dressing. Either a creamy dressing or Greek vinaigrette dressing.
