Ensalada Griega con Pasta | Saludable y fácil de hacer 😉

A colorful Greek pasta salad so easy it'll become your favorite summer side dish. With just seven ingredients—short pasta, cucumber, red onion, bell pepper, cherry tomatoes, feta cheese, and black olives—you can make a complete salad that's the perfect accompaniment to any protein: chicken, fish, or meat. The best part is that it's served cold, making it ideal for taking to work, a picnic, or a meal with friends. It has the carbohydrates from the pasta, the freshness of the vegetables, and the salty touch of the feta cheese that makes it irresistible. 🛒 INGREDIENTS: For the salad: • 200 g (7 oz) of short pasta (screw, fusilli, elbow macaroni or your choice) • ½ cucumber (peeled and cut into half-moons) • ¼ of a red onion (sliced as thinly as possible) • ½ bell pepper (preferably 3 "bubble" variety, cut into strips) • Cherry tomatoes to taste (or 2 firm, red saladette tomatoes) • 100 g (3.5 oz) of feta cheese • Black olives to taste (whole or chopped) • 1 tablespoon of dried (or fresh) oregano • Salt and pepper to taste For the dressing: • ½ cup of vinaigrette (Zelecisne's honey and mustard vinaigrette) • Or a quick version: juice of ½ a large lemon + a splash of olive oil ✨ Zelecisne's Tips: • Storage tip: After cooking and draining the pasta, add a drizzle of olive oil and mix well. This way, it will keep for several days in the refrigerator without drying out and will maintain its perfect texture. • Slice the red onion as thinly as possible. If you're not very good with a knife, soak it in cold water for 5 minutes to reduce its sharpness. • For raw salads, look for peppers with 3 "bubbles" (those with 4 are better for cooking). But if you can't find those, any will do. • Feta cheese is the star: don't leave it out. It's salty, creamy, and gives it that authentic Greek touch. • If you don't have time to make vinaigrette, don't complicate things: squeeze half a lemon + a drizzle of olive oil and it's perfect 💡 Interesting facts: • Traditional Greek salad has these same ingredients... but WITHOUT lettuce. In Greece it's called "horiatiki" (village salad). • Adding pasta makes it a complete meal: you already have carbohydrates + vegetables + protein from the cheese • It's perfect to take to work or on a picnic because it's eaten cold and keeps perfectly well outside the fridge for a couple of hours. • With over 1.1 MILLION views, it's one of the channel's most-watched salads — people keep making it all summer long I also recommend:    • La Mejor Vinagreta Que Harás en tu Cocina      • Ensalada Navideña con Nueces Caramelizadas...      • Salpicon de Res con Tostadas de Maíz | Sal...      • Ceviche de Lentejas: ¡La receta más ECONÓM...   👨‍🍳 STEPS: 0:00 — Introduction 0:16 — Ingredients (list on screen) 0:22 — Cook the pasta with a handful of salt (10-12 min) 0:49 — Tip: Add oil to cooked pasta to prevent it from drying out 1:22 — Cucumber: peel along lines so it looks nice 1:49 — Use only half of the cucumber 2:03 — Cut the cucumber into half-moons 2:36 — Red onion: slice very thinly 2:58 — Tip: If you don't cut it thin, cold water for 5 minutes will reduce the itching. 3:24 — Bell pepper 3:28 — Tip: 3-part pepper = better raw; 4-part pepper = better cooked 4:16 — Cut the pepper into sticks 4:42 — Cherry tomatoes, halved (or 2 saladette tomatoes) 5:47 — Whole or chopped black olives 6:04 — Season with salt and pepper 6:22 — Feta cheese (100 g, the star of the salad) 6:40 — Dried oregano (1 tbsp) 7:02 — Vinaigrette: ½ cup (or lemon + olive oil if you don't have time) 7:40 — Mix everything 8:10 — Greek salad with pasta ready! 8:34 — Perfect as a side dish with chicken, fish or meat 9:04 — Try it!
