There’s something about a vibrant pasta salad that just screams summer, doesn’t it? I fondly remember hosting sunny backyard picnics where this dish was a staple. The combination of fresh ingredients and delightful flavors always makes it a hit! This easy Greek pasta salad is not just perfect for those warm weather gatherings but also a fantastic weeknight dinner option or a make-ahead meal for busy weekdays.

One of the great things about this salad is its versatility. You can swap out ingredients based on what you have on hand; for example, if you’re missing olives or feta, feel free to add diced bell peppers or some spicy pepperoncini instead! Consider serving this alongside grilled chicken or shrimp for a nutritious, balanced meal.
