The creamy dressing is what truly elevates this salad. It provides a luscious and tangy coating for all the fresh ingredients. Often made with a base of Greek yogurt or mayonnaise, it’s typically infused with classic Greek flavors. You can use red wine vinegar or lemon juice for the dressing. You can use any medium size pasta like rotini or penne pasta.
