Summer = barbecue time!  I know that meat (chicken, pork, beef and even fish) gets to be the star of the party but let us not forget to give salads due credit as they also play an important role. Here in Germany, the most common salad paired with grilled meat is ‘Kartoffelsalat’ or the German potato salad. It is not limited to grilled meat of course or to just summer, it is usually served at lunch or dinner all-year round with any roasted, grilled or fried meat. But we are not gonna talk about Kartoffelsalat in this post, not today. Today we will have Greek Pasta Salad! Why? Well first, because I like Greek pasta salad and second…I have to admit, I am a bit scared to make Kartoffelsalat ...yet;-) I’ve watched my mother-in-law prepare it several times now but the pressure of serving to Germans (a.k.a. my husband) my own creation of what is like a staple food to them…pressure!!! But I will try to summon my courage to try making it one of this days…

Now about Greek Pasta Salad, it is easier to make, I guess, and there is not so much pressure because Armin is not Greek. But aside from that, I also like the combination of rotini pasta with fresh and crisp veggies tossed with aromatic Greek salad dressing and of course let us not forget the tangy feta.  Of course, other pasta noodles can be used like penne, bowtie, fusilli, cavatappi or any short (and curly) pasta you can get hold of.  For added aesthetics, I used tri-color rotini in mine.
