Add a Tangy Twist to Your Pasta Salad With This Greek-Inspired Recipe

When it comes to Greek salad, we always think of colors, colors, colors! Sunny lemon wedges, bright cucumbers, sweet fresh and sun-dried tomatoes, spicy onion and grassy oregano are all frontand center in our minds’ eye.
But, sometimes it’s fun to gild the lily.
So, instead of just garnishing with lemon wedges, we grilled those bad boys to give off an extraordinary amount of juice.
And we didn’t let the tart side of the food spectrum down, either! Instead, we added pomegranates for a little pucker power and sweetness.
Now that we’ve talked about the sweet, the tart and the savory, let’s get to one of our favorite “s-words.”
Salty cheeses!
We didn’t just add feta to this salad, oh, no.
We added parmesan to the vinaigrette for a double dose of umami deliciousness.
Let’s cut to the chase, you’re going to love this salad.
And you’re going to be very popular when you bring it – well – anywhere. The dining room, the living room, to a barbecue, to a picnic at the lake, this salad is like a little black dress – it goes with everything.
As an added bonus, you can turn this Greek pasta salad into a full meal by adding some grilled chicken 😋

I got these for my husband and he LOVED them! Starting with the box - so well made and packaged - beautifully designed and balanced handle - everything is perfect about the knife. Great job F N Sharp!
Functional, great capacity, and beautifully made. We tossed our old knife block out, but included the old knives in with the new, as there is ample room.
