Mediterranean-inspired salad served warm. Also delicious cold. Don't add salt - the feta, olives and capers provide plenty. A short sturdy pasta works best such as bowties, shells, elbows. Ingredients:
2 tablespoons olive oil |
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar |
3 garlic cloves, sliced |
5 -6 cups pasta, hot cooked |
2 cups spinach, raw chopped |
1/2 cup kalamata olive, pitted (sliced if desired) |
2 tablespoons capers, rinsed |
3/4 cup feta cheese, crumbled |
1/4 teaspoon pepper |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, whisk olive oil, vinegar and garlic.
2. Add remaining ingredients and toss to mix. The spinach will wilt from the hot pasta.
3. Season with pepper to taste.
4. Garnish with more cheese crumbles if desired. Though it's delicious refrigerator cold, I think it tastes best when served warm.
