Lemon Herb Mediterranean Pasta Salad

Loaded with so much flavour and perfect for any occasion, everyone goes crazy over this pasta salad! My Grilled Lemon Herb Mediterranean CHICKEN Salad has been a HIT with readers around the world, but many have been asking how to turn it into a vegetarian pasta salad version. Here it is!

Easy Summer Pasta Salad

Adding pasta to this salad is not only a delicious vegetarian version, it’s a HUGE HIT with everyone I’ve asked to try it. Loaded with everything mediterranean:

Cucumbers Olives Sun dried tomatoes Feta cheese Bell peppers (capsicum) Lettuce Tomatoes Red onion Creamy avocado pieces!

You can’t go wrong!

Meal in a salad? YES! Meat free? YES YES! I kinda feel like saying, ‘Look ma! No meat!’

The Perfect Pasta Salad Recipe

Being a cold pasta salad makes it perfect for summer. It can be made up to a day in advance, leaving the avocado and tomato until ready to serve to keep them as fresh as possible. You can leave out some of the ingredients if you wish, or make it completely your own and add whatever you like! This salad is extremely versatile and a forgiving recipe.

Pasta Salad Dressing

Using the same dressing as the Mediterranean Chicken Salad to keep all of your favourite flavours packed into this salad, you guys are guaranteed to love this version just as much! Perfect for parties, gatherings, pot lucks, or just for a family dinner.

What to Serve with this Pasta Salad

This pasta salad goes well with just about anything! You can of course serve it as a side salad to accompany any of the following meals:

Garlic Herb Butter Roast Chicken Lamb chops Seared salmon or any other fish Oven fried chicken Greek Lamb Souvlaki Turkey burgers Beef burgers Seared lemon chicken thighs

The options are endless with this salad. You can add in marinated artichokes, fire roasted peppers, goats cheese instead of feta, arugula or spinach instead of or with the lettuce, etc!
