Mealthy Tip

Farfalle are a type of pasta commonly known as bow-tie pasta. The name is derived from the Italian word "farfalla" meaning butterflies! Double or triple the amount of spinach to make this pasta salad lean a bit further in the salad direction.

Tarragon Boi says:

This was great! I brought it to a cookout the next day and people loved it.

Queen Foodie says:

This has become one of my favorite pasta salads. When the feta meets the olives and tomatoes nothing but joy for my tastes buds.

kat satterfield says:

My fiance really liked this dish and he hates olives! The overall Mediterranean flavor is sensational. Loved the combo of all the fresh spices, feta and lemon for a little zest. We're trying to be a little more carb conscious so I subbed about half the noodles and added more spinach as suggested.

Alex Cabral says:

I skipped the dill and paprika, only because I didn't have any on hand. This pasta salad was amazing. So easy and minimal ingredients. Perfect for casual gathering or work potlucks!

McKenzie C says:

I used zoodles instead of pasta and got the same effect. The olive oil kind of acts as a light dressing, which was perfect for tossing the zucchini noodles in. Light, delicious, and easy. Perfect for lunch or entertaining!
