I love Greek salad and I could eat it everyday! The salty, sour, herby and fresh tastes make me happy! This Greek pasta salad is easy to make and it’s healthy too! The oregano, lemon and olive oil dressing is simple and delicious. I love to use red lentil Rotini pasta but you can use any pasta you want to use!
