So scrounging in my fridge, I found all the necessities to make this pasta salad. (Whew – I feel very lucky at this point.) This pasta salad recipe is very easy to make. If you don’t have cooked pasta laying around, no worries, pasta isn’t terribly hard to cook in the first place. What makes this pasta salad so appetizing is the feta and sun-dried tomatoes. These two ingredients in the recipe can just turn any boring old salad into a very satisfying dish that cures your hunger!
