• Add the chopped lettuce, tomato wedges, cucumber chunks, onion slices, halved olives, half the feta and some parsley to a large bowl.
• Combine the olive oil, vinegar, sugar, garlic, 1/4 teaspoon salt, pepper and chopped olives in a bowl or mason jar. Whisk or shake together until combined. Taste and adjust seasonings (I almost always add a little more sugar).
• Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients, then add some salt and pepper. Toss with tongs or clean hands. Just before serving, top with the remaining feta and squeeze a little lemon juice over the top.

QUICK GREEK PASTA SALAD WITH STEAK

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add pasta and cook for 8 to 10 minutes or until al dente. When cooked, drain, then toss with olive oil, and keep warm.
• Meanwhile, melt 1 tablespoon butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the rib-eye on both sides until rosy-pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes depending on thickness. Remove steak from skillet and cut into bite-size pieces. Melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter in the skillet, and stir in the garlic and shallots. Cook 5 to 10 seconds until fragrant, then return the steak to the pan and cook for another 5 minutes or to desired doneness. Stir in the soy sauce, and cook a few seconds longer, allowing it to evaporate.
• Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the sun-dried tomato pesto, olives, spinach, basil, parsley, feta cheese and sunflower kernels. Toss with the pasta in a large bowl and serve.

• In a bowl combine the cooked shell pasta with the remaining half of the dressing, then mix in cucumber, olives, sliced onion, pimientos and 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese; toss to combine, then refrigerate while grilling the steaks.
• Grill the steaks until desired doneness; place on a plate allow to rest for 15 minutes or more, then slice thinly.
• Line a large platter plate with lettuce leaves.
• Spread the pasta mixture over the leaves, then arrange the sliced steak over the pasta.
• Sprinkle about 1/4 cup or more crumbled feta cheese over the sliced steak.
• Serve with reserved dressing.
• Delicious!

GREEK PASTA SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the vinaigrette (mix well together, oil, lemon juice, garlic and oregano).
• In a large salad bowl, mix the pasta, feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumber, olives, green pepper, parsley and green onion.
• As many black olives your little heart desires!
• Pour the vinaigrette over the pasta and vegetables; mix well.
• Salt and pepper to taste. Refrigerate for a few hours to allow flavours to blend.
• Remove from the refrigerator for about a half an hour before serving.
• You can use many types of pasta ie: rotini, farfalle, penne.
• You can half the recipe by cutting down the amount of pasta -- but I would still make the same amount of vinaigrette.
• It's way too yummy!
• Enjoy !
