Storing leftovers

This is a great salad that will last about 3-4 days. It keeps much better than my creamy cucumber salad because there are less cucumbers which means less water build up. If you are into creamy dressings you should click on the link and look at that recipe. However, this is not a recipe to be frozen.

What to serve with cucumber pasta salad?

This is a salad that can act as one dish but if you want to add anything I say it’s a great salad for summer and why not add in some extra protein?

Ingredients

16 oz rotini pasta dry
1 large cucumber sliced
1 pint cherry tomatoes halved
1/2 medium red onion diced
1 cup feta cheese crumbled

Dressing

1/2 cup olive oil
2 lemon, squeezed
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1/2 cup basil, chopped
5 sprig thyme, chopped
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

To start, boil the pasta according to the directions on the box. While the pasta is cooking prep the dressing and other ingredients.
In a small bowl, combine the olive oil with chopped basil and thyme. Then, juice the lemon and add in the apple cider vinegar. Season the dressing with salt and pepper but you may want to add more later. This will need to be adjusted to taste.
Dice your red onion and cut the cherry tomatoes in half. Then, slice the cucumbers into quarters so that way they are easier to grab while eating. I also would recommend removing the skin.
In a large salad bowl, add in the cooked pasta, cucumber, tomatoes, red onion and crumbled feta. Now, pour the dressing over everything and mix well. Salt and pepper to taste.
You can serve this salad immediately or make ahead and allow it to sit overnight and let the flavors really come together.
