Greek Tzatziki Salad with Pasta

You don’t need many ingredients for this Tzatziki salad. Fresh and crisp cucumbers, kalamata olives, pasta, feta cheese, and cherry tomatoes. And they’re more than enough to bring out the most awesome flavors. Your friends and family will enjoy this Greek delicacy mixed with creamy tzatziki dressing.

Especially on hot summer days, and it goes perfectly with BBQ. We all love summer BBQs because we love spending time together outside. Also, I like to add a sweet taste to this salad by adding fresh dill.
