We made this one up several summers ago and it's become a favorite.
Pasta Salad
Rotini - cooked
2 English Cucumbers - cut in quarters
4 Tomatoes - diced
2 Green Peppers - diced
2 Green onions - sliced on the diagonal
3 Lemons
Pepper
Fresh Parsley
Feta Cheese
Caesar Salad Dressing
Cook the pasta, rinse and cool.
Cut and squeeze the lemons over a small sieve, discarding seeds but saving any pulp. Mix dressing, lemon juice, pepper, parsley.
Have vegetables prepared ahead and mix them well, cover in plastic wrap in fridge, while pasta cooks.
Add the Caesar dressing to the lemon mixture and then grate the Feta in to it. Mix well.
Toss all ingredients and refrigerate.
***More Caesar dressing is usually required as the pasta soak up the sauce.
We like to serve with a BBQ'd chicken breast fanned over each serving. If we are serving a group, we add grainy buns and brown beans to the menu, also.
We boil the whole bag of pasta and that requires 2 bottles of dressing. We have added many different fresh vegetables but like this combo best!
This salad is perfect for a potluck or family dinner - just tastes better the next day so plan to prepare the day before it's required.
***If you have the large Tupp*rware bowl, it perfectly holds this salad.

Lovely recipes......
Thanks for sharing~
Love Jeanne ^j^
I have some feta cheese that is just sitting there, making me feel quilty. I bought too much and now I need recipes for it. I did freeze some of it though. It freezes well.
I love to try new recipes. I have one on my blog, I put it there yesterday when I found I had too many tomaotes and needed to do something with them. It is twist on the old standard macaroni salad but it got really good reviews from my DH and the dog. LOL
Sounds absolutely delish!
I've never found a "good" pasta salad recipe before, but this one....yummo!
