Everyone has something they look forward to as school begins and September rolls around.One of the things on my list is the Greek Festival in downtown Salt Lake City. Years ago my dear friend Jill introduced me to this energetic event and I have been in love with it ever since.Where else can you go to see dancing, live music and eat the best Greek food in town? Well, the best food might be in your own kitchen . . . but the entertainment is really worth the cost of the entrance price. If you go here you can print up a free ticket to get in and save your dollars for the goodies inside.
I ran across this Greek Pasta Salad on two of my favorite blogs last week, Pam at For the Love of Cooking and Cathy at Wives with Knives. I made it up and it’s just delicious. Tomorrow I’m serving this salad at a ladies lunch and I’ve added greens. I’ll report back on how it was received. This can be made with or without the chicken and I recommend eating it within 24 hours after you’ve mixed it together. Printable recipe below.
Do you have a Greek Festival in your community?
Hi Cristie--Serendipity---Our annual Greek Festival begins today!
ReplyDeleteYour pasta salad looks delicious--moist, full of contrasting textures, bright flavors. Pine nuts add such a nice crunch.
