Ingredients
- 1 pound Rainbow Rotini
- 1 pint grape tomatoes halved
- 8 oz. feta cheese crumbled
- 10 oz. hard pepper salami cut in ⅛" thick slices then into thin strips
- 1 pint kalamata olives ½ of them halved, the rest left whole for around the platter
- 8 oz. of deli sliced pepperoncini this is from a 16 oz. jar
- 12 fresh basil leaves cut into strips
- 1 sprig fresh oregano leaves removed
- 1 sprig rosemary leaves chopped
- 5 sprigs thyme leave removed
- 1-12 oz. bottle Girard's Greek Feta Salad dressing
- *optional rosemary sprigs for garnish
Instructions
- Make the pasta but leave it slightly under al dente. When the pasta cools add ¾ of the Greek dressing. The pasta will absorb the dressing. Add the grape tomatoes, hard salami, 4 oz. of the feta cheese, halved kalamata olives, sliced pepperoncini, and herbs. Gently mix together. Add the rest of the Greek dressing and let it rest so the pasta can absorb the dressing.
- Scoop the pasta onto a nice platter. Top the pasta with the rest of the feta cheese. Place the whole olives on the platter and garnish with the rosemary sprigs.
