Last night we enjoyed a fine grilled steak, corn on the cob and Mediterranean Pasta Salad. I picked the tomato and basil from our garden just as I needed to add them to the dish. Our fresh picked basil packed quite a fragrant punch!
I humbly share this recipe with you. I modified one I found on-line. Forgive my kluge "measurements" as I have begun the metamorphosis into my mom's way of cooking. Measurements are a "pinch of this", "enough to fill the hollow of your palm" for that. Life is too much fun without measuring spoons!
Mediterranean Pasta Salad
- 8oz cooked rotini pasta
- 1/4 C finely chopped red onion
- 1-2 persian cucumbers, thickly sliced
- Handful of pitted, halved kalmata olives
- Handful of fresh chopped basil
- 1 medium tomato, chopped
- Crumbled Feta Cheese
- Vinegar
- Olive Oil
- Salt & Pepper to taste
Combine all ingredients and let marinate in the fridge for an hour.
The fresher the ingredients the better the taste! Feel free to increase or decrease ingredients as desired. Serve chilled.
