Kraft Kitchens Tips

Best of Season

Substitute other vegetables as desired. If cherry tomatoes are not available, use coarsely chopped plum tomatoes instead. Or, substitute chopped red and/or green peppers for the cucumbers.

Using Unpeeled Cucumbers

When using unpeeled cucumbers, be sure to scrub them before chopping. If the cucumber has been heavily waxed, then peel it before chopping it.

Variation

To make this delicious pasta salad a hit with your kids, omit olives and onions. Prepare using your favorite pasta shape and substituting cubed KRAFT Cheddar Cheese for the feta cheese.

I have made this several times. You can use whatever veggies you like and it is still great. I do use sundried tomato vinegarette dressing and it makes it even better.

I was surprised at how good this was. As written I'm giving it 4 stars. The only thing I would change is add a tad bit more dressing and more black olives. Other than that this was delicious. I made a batch without feta cheese for my kids and a batch with feta cheese for the adults.

I omitted the onion & substituted the feta for cheddar (for the kiddos....)Everyone ate it but wasn't thrilled. Will definitely try one more time.

I have made this for years but add green bell pepper and cilantro too. It never lasts the time it's supposed to take to marry the flavors. We just can't wait to eat it and there is usually none left the next day.
