    This Greek pasta salad is so easy to throw together for a weeknight dinner, weekend lunch, or even for meal prep! It's completely family friendly and perfect for a picnic or summer holiday party (hello July 4th!).
    Prep Time: 8 minutes
    Cook Time: 12 minutes
    Total Time: 20 minutes
    Servings: 6 servings

    Ingredients 

    • 12 oz rotini pasta *see notes for gluten free and keto options, cooked al dente (1 minute less than package directions)
    • 18 oz cooked chicken breast** chopped (about 3 cups)
    • 2 cups grape tomatoes halved
    • 1 large English cucumber chopped
    • 1 cup kalamata olives pitted
    • ½ large red onion chopped
    • 8 oz feta cheese crumbled
    • 3 large cloves minced
    • 2 sprigs fresh oregano leaves removed
    • ¼ cup fresh mint leaves roughly chopped
    • 3 Tbsp extra virgin olive oil
    • 3 Tbsp olive brine from kalamata olives
    • 2 lemons zested and juiced
    • 1 tsp fine sea salt
    • ½ tsp freshly ground black pepper

    Instructions

    • Add all ingredients except feta to a very large bowl and gently toss to combine.
    • Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour before serving. Ideally, you want to toss it every 15 minutes to distribute the juices at the bottom.
    • Add feta and gently toss when ready to serve. For presentation, top with some extra crumbled feta and more herbs.

    Notes

    *I use this brand for gluten free and this brand for keto
    **This is 1.5 lb raw or 2 large breasts. For cooking the chicken, you can buy cooked chicken, cook it yourself in the oven or air fryer, etc. BUT my favorite way to make this pasta salad is to marinate in Primal Kitchen Greek dressing for 2 hours, then grill at 425F (medium high) for 12 minutes or until center reaches 165F, flipping halfway through. It's so juicy and flavorful!
