Meatless Monday!

We were doing some blog reading a few days ago and I don't know which of us came across a "Meatless Monday" post, but we did.  Meatless Monday....sounds like something fun to try.  So we did and it was a hit all around!

Tomato/Cucumber Greek Pasta Salad

I made up this salad back before I was married.  Cucumbers, Tomato, Red Onion, Feta Cheese and a little mayo.  Easy to make, cheap meal for one, and oh so yummy!  I didn't think the salad served the way I usually made it would be a filling meal so Becca (my pasta queen!) thought we could add pasta to it.  Brilliant idea lovely girl!

Tomato/Cucumber Greek Pasta Salad

~ 4 cucumbers
~ 3 small boxes of grape tomatoes
* 1 large red onion
~ 1 large container feta cheese (regular)
~ a couple scoops of mayo
~ 2 large boxes of elbow macaroni

*Cook the pasta then let it cool while you chop the veggies
* Chop up all veggies and put them together in one bowl
*Add feta cheese and mayo (salt and light garlic powder if you choose)
*Mix everything up and let sit in fridge for 30 minutes
*Mix pasta and veggies together (Serve right away or put in fridge to chill)
 
~This made enough for our family of 11 with no leftovers!
