Spinach & Feta Pasta Salad

Grubilicious Contributor: Stacy McCarty

We hosted a shower for D this weekend and I promised I would post the recipes on this site. I think most of you have had this recipe and the chicken salad recipe (posted above) many times. My mom and I make them for every shower, but they are always a hit. No sense messing with a good thing! Keep in mind that this recipe and the chicken salad make a lot! So, if just making for your family, you may want to cut in half.

Ingredients:

1 cucumber, diced
1/2 c. red onion, diced
1 container of feta cheese
1 box of penne pasta (about 12 oz. give or take), cooked according to package
1/2 c. mayo
1 bag of baby spinach (give or take...you probably will not need the whole bag)
1/2 bottle of Cookwell & Company Cracked Pepper Vinaigrette*

1. Mix first 5 ingredients
2. Immediately before serving add spinach and dressing. Toss, serve & enjoy!

* This dressing is available at HEB in the specialty section and on the salad dressing isle. Or if you love it (like we do!), you can order it online by the case at several online fine food sites. I have found a lot of things to make with this stuff. It's great.
