The ingredients for Candi's Greek-Style Pasta Salad are:

1 box (13oz -16oz) whole wheat Rotini Pasta
2 cups Roma Tomatoes, diced
2 cups cucumbers, peeled & diced
1 red pepper, diced
1 green pepper, diced
1-2 small containers fat free Feta cheese, crumbled
1 can diced olives
1 bottle Italian dressing, any type (I use light or Fat Free)

Here is how you make Candi's Greek-Style Pasta Salad:

Cook pasta according to package directions. While pasta is cooking, chop the tomatoes, cucmbers, and peppers and set aside in large mixing bowl.Drain pasta. While pasta is still warm, put in the bowl with the vegetables. Add the olives and dressing. Mix together thouroughly and allow to cool to room temperature. Mixing while the pasta is warm will allow it to better absorb the flavors of the dressing.Once pasta mixture has cooled, mix in Feta cheese. Refrigerate mixture for 3-4 hours, or overnight. Serve cold or at room temperature.*** I often make this recipe on Sunday afternoons for my lunch for the entire week. Once mixed, I go ahead and place servings (2) in plastic containers before refrigerating. That way, I'm good to go for lunch all week long. I also take the entire recipe to parties or serve it at wedding/baby showers. ***Makes about 14 1-cup servings.Number of Servings: 14Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user CANDICANE150.
