I made for you a delicious Orecchiette Greek Pasta Salad, full of cucumbers, tomatoes, red onions and feta cheese. It is bathed in a dressing of lemon juice, red wine vinegar, olive oil, flat chives and fresh dill. You could add black olives to it if desired but since I don’t like them they weren’t going in my salad.
