Favorite Pasta Salad

My all time favorite pasta salad!! I don't make it all that often b/c I honestly can't stop eating it when it is in the fridge. I like it b/c it does not have mayonaisse in it so you can bring it to a party and not worry about it being out or spoiling!

Ingredients

• red onion minced (no measurements here mayber 1/3 cup?
• 1 stalk of celery minced
• 1 red pepper minced
• bunch of black olives minced (get the good greek ones one from the olive bar)
• basil julienned
• small block of feta diced (I prefer the block to the crumbles)
• 1 box of Israeli pearl couscous (Trader Joes)
• olive oil 1/2 cup
• balsamic vinegar 1/3 cup
• salt and pepper

First off I forgot to buy the cous cous but thought I had (this type is more like a pasta) so instead I had to use stupid elbows. Really any pasta will work but I recommend something small. If you decide to go with a bigger pasta, make more vinegarette. Cook the couscous/pasta according to package. Drain and give a rinse with cool water.

Whisk the oil and vinegar in a bowl and add the rest. Season to taste - so good! xo, Brie
