Greek Pasta Salad
Greek Pasta Salad - seriously THE BEST! I could make a meal out of this pasta salad!!! Penne pasta, olive oil, lemon juice, mayonnaise, Greek seasoning, grape tomatoes, feta and basil. Makes a ton. Great for a potluck. Can easily half the recipe. Easy and delicious side dish recipe! Recipe from Ashley Mac's in Birmingham, AL.
One of my absolute favorite places to eat lunch is at a restaurant called Ashely Mac's in Birmingham. They have THE BEST chicken sandwich, and I am in LOVE with their Greek Pasta Salad. I'm not really a pasta salad person, but Ashely Mac's pasta salad is to-die-for!!! I could just eat the Greek Pasta Salad and be happy! Well, that probably isn't true. Ashley Mac's cupcakes are incredible! SO, maybe Greek Pasta Salad and cupcakes! LOL! I found the recipe for their chicken salad on the local paper's website and immediately whipped up a batch! It tasted just like the real thing! Woohoo!
This recipe makes a TON of Greek Pasta Salad. This would be great for a potluck. I usually half the recipe when I make it. We ate this for several days with lunch and dinner. This will keep for 3 to 5 days in the refrigerator. I love the flavor of the dressing and all of the yummy crumbled feta! This goes great with sandwiches, grilled chicken, just about anything. Heck, we ate only pasta salad for dinner one night. We just can't get enough of this yummy side dish!!!
