pasta salad.

8 oz dried whole wheat pasta (I used Farfalle, but any pasta of your choice will work)

1 1/2 c. broccoli, chopped

1 large tomato or 2 small tomatoes, chopped

3- 4 oz feta cheese

1/4 c. extra virgin olive oil

2 T balsamic vinegar

1 lemon, juiced

salt and pepper, to taste

Cook pasta according to directions on the box.  When the pasta has 5 minutes left to cook, add the broccoli to the pasta.  Drain pasta and broccoli.  Add tomatoes and feta to the warm pasta and broccoli.

In a bowl, combine olive oil, vinegar and lemon juice.  Toss pasta in the olive oil/ vinegar mix.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Serve warm or cold. 

Add 1/2 recipe Balsamic Chicken to the mix and you have a great meal.
