Mediterranean Pasta Salad

June 3, 2021 By

This isn’t really a recipe, more of a reminder to make this Mediterranean pasta salad more often. All the ingredients can be prepped in advance. I even cook the pasta, cool it and add to a zip top bag so I don’t have to boil water the day of my BBQ. The dressing I typically use is my Easy Greek Vinaigrette which is tangy and delicious and can be made and stored in a canning jar (or other small jar).

This image of my salad is just one version. I sometimes add artichocke hearts, garbanzo beans or skip the pasta – it’s just pretty and a salad everyone enjoys.

A pound of dry pasta with the various fixings will feed eight diners.

Enjoy!

14 April 2020 Easy Cobb Salad

Easy Cobb Salad

April 14, 2020 By

Okay, this isn’t really a ‘recipe’ but I thought I’d share as it was delicious and simple to make. Through this pandemic, we’re been doing so much pasta and Italian food that one day I decided we had to do more salads and put this baby together for dinner.

I used ingredients I had at home so please customize your version to what you have and what you eat. Would be delish without chicken and bacon but with chickpeas and artichoke heats too.

Served and plated this way is soooo pretty and if you don’t toss it, each person can use the dressing he/she likes. I did my Easy Greek Vinaigrette and my guy did blue cheese dressing. To each his/her own!

This used a half head of iceberg lettuce and two half chicken breasts that I grilled. I know blue cheese crumbles are more typical of a Cobb, but I had a ton of fresh Mozzarella, so I used that. And I included my No Fail Hard-Boiled Eggs.

Cheers!
