A very tasty and colorful salad that may also become a main entrée by adding chicken. This salad works well for a summer picnic or makes a delicious selection for a bridal shower luncheon.
Directions
  • Cook pasta according to package directions, drain and put into a large bowl.
  • While pasta is cooking, prepare salad dressing and pour over the warm, drained pasta. Let cool before adding the rest of the ingredients.
  • Add drained capers, crumbled feta cheese, chopped parsley, and chopped reconstituted sun dried tomatoes. Refrigerate for 4 to 6 hours so ingredients absorb the flavors.
  • Just before serving, add the tomatoes. Instead of using capers, chopped Kalamata olives can be substituted.
  • To use this as an entrée, add one chicken breast per person. This recipe doubles and triples easily.
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients
- 16 ounces penne pasta - cooked and drained
