I love pasta salad, and I especially love pasta salad that has bold delicious flavors.\u00c2\u00a0 This pasta salad certainly has bold delicious flavors.<\/div>\n

I’m not sure why it’s a common sentiment that a little bit of dried herb goes a long way, but I think that’s the furthest from the truth.\u00a0 I think if you use just a little bit of the dried herbs, your food won’t have much flavor, and we’re all about flavor!\u00a0 Don’t be scared off by the amount of dried herbs…trust me, it’s delicious!<\/p>\n

A friend of mine made a similar pasta salad for an event we went to, and while she didn’t have a recipe, she told me what she put it, and this is my version.\u00a0 This is a great one to bring for a potluck or picnic too.<\/p>\n

Ingredients:<\/p>\n

\n
• 14.5 oz or 16 oz pasta of choice<\/li>\n
• 1\/2 c. olive oil<\/li>\n
• 1\/3 c. rice wine vinegar<\/li>\n
• 2 tsp. Italian seasoning<\/li>\n
• 4 tsp. dried oregano<\/li>\n
• 2 tsp. garlic powder<\/li>\n
• 2 tsp. dried parsley<\/li>\n
• salt and pepper, to taste<\/li>\n
• 4 oz. crumbled feta<\/li>\n
• 1 lb. of grape tomatoes, halved.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

  Directions:<\/p>\n

  \n
  1. Bring a large pot of water to boil over high heat; then add salt and pasta, and cook until al dente; then drain.<\/li>\n
  2. Meanwhile in a large bowl combine olive oil through feta and stir to combine.\u00a0 Mix so that some of the feta actually breaks down in the dressing (emulsifies) and the dressing becomes a bit “creamy;” then add the tomatoes; then add the pasta.\u00a0 Toss to combine and taste.\u00a0 Correct seasoning to taste.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
