Gluten Free Lemon Dill Pasta Salad
This gluten free pasta salad is the perfect side dish for any meal or cookout. It's flavorful, colorful, and easy to make!
Equipment
- 1 large serving bowl
- 1 pot to boil pasta
Ingredients
- 1 box Jovial Farfalle Pasta [12 oz] or your favorite gluten free pasta
- 1/2 cup Olive oil I always use extra virgin Olive Oil
- 1/2 cup Freshly squeezed lemon juice [3 lemons]
- 1 cup Chopped fresh dill
- 1 cup Chopped fresh parsley
- 1 cup Peeled cucumber I don't use the seeds
- 1/2 cup Small diced red onion
- 3/4 pound Good feta cheese large diced
- Salt and fresh ground Black Pepper
Instructions
- Fill a large pot with water and bring water to a boil
- Add the bowtie pasta and let boil for 8 minutes, stirring occasionally [I think the box says 9 minutes cooking time - I only cook for 8]
- Drain pasta and pour into a large bowl
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup lemon juice, 1/2 cup olive oil, 2 teaspoons salt, 1 teaspoon pepper
- Pour over the hot pasta and stir well
- Now add the 1 cup chopped dill, 1 cup chopped parsley, 1 cup diced cucumber, and 1/2 cup of chopped onion
- Toss well
- Add the Feta and stir carefully
- Set aside and cover with cling wrap for 1 hour to allow the flavors to blend together
- You can also refrigerate overnight - I don't usually do this, with gluten free pasta I think it's best served fresh
- Enjoy!
Notes
I love this pasta salad because you can use alternative veggies. You can also add minced scallions, or tomatoes, or extra cucumber. It's really versatile!
This lemon juicer saves me a ton of time!
