“Anti-Pasta” Salad
2June 10, 2012 by keirstenalana
Any BBQ you go to this summer is likely to have pasta salad. There is no better way to ruin a delicious melody of seasoned and marinated vegetables than to add pasta to it… so I used all of the ingredients that I typically enjoy in a salad, minus the pasta! And, here you have it; a perfect side dish to any BBQ, minus the pasta!
Ingredients:
Approximately 4 cups artichoke hearts (can use fresh and steam the hearts on your own, or buy frozen hearts)
1/2 medium red onion, diced
1 large cucumber
Approximately 2 cups of diced tomatoes, or grape tomatoes cut in half
1 cup kalamata olives, rinsed to remove some of the salt
1 red bell pepper, chopped
Approximately 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
2-3 Tbsp olive oil
2 Tbsp apple cider vinegar
Italian seasonings to taste
Black pepper to taste
Mix all ingredients in a large bowl
Place in refrigerator for a couple of hours before serving
Enjoy! : )
Just wondering how many this serves.would love to use it for an up comming party-serving 30 people.
I served about 20 with this recipe. I usually eyeball it. It really depends on what other vegetables you use, too. I make this a bit different almost every time. I made this for a catering event for 30 people, and I didn’t quite double the recipe (but close), if that helps. And there was some left over!
