Pine Nut Pasta Salad

This pasta salad is so yummy, delicious and perfect for your next BBQ or dinner. My mom text me the other day and said she was making this for dinner. I haven’t stopped thinking about it since then. As I started to make it, I thought “why don’t we have this more often? Who doesn’t like pasta salad?” Then I realized, oh wait, my husband doesn’t like pasta salad.

I began wondering if it was a good idea for me to make it but I wanted it and he will try anything I make so I kept with it and I am so glad I did because it was better than I remember. Plus it is so easy and fast, you’ll have a pile of pasta salad in no time.
Cook pasta according to package directions. While that’s cooking, start chopping your veggies and set aside. Get a bowl to mix the olive oil, lemon, garlic and pepper to make dressing. Once pasta is finished, rinse with cold water and drain. Pour pasta in serving bowl and mix in veggies. Drizzle dressing over pasta and mix again. Pour on feta cheese and pine nuts and mix one last time. Refrigerate or serve immediately. This makes a large batch perfect for a main dish or side dish.
For the record, Stephen took 2 bites and did not like it but I ate every last bite and the leftovers later.
