Whole-Grain Greek Pasta Salad
This favorite is my summer cookout go-to recipe for family cookouts. Everyone is pleased with this flavor-packed pasta salad. The dressing, especially, is so delicious that your family won’t miss the typical oil served alongside. We often change up the whole grain pasta shapes to add a different texture to the dish. Ingredients: 12 oz. whole grain pasta, cooked

½ cup cherry tomatoes, halved
½ cup diced red onion
½ cup chopped cucumber
½ cup diced red bell pepper
