Fusilli Salad is a vibrant and flavorful dish inspired by Mediterranean cuisine. This cold pasta salad combines spiral-shaped fusilli with fresh ingredients like cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, olives, red onions, and crumbled feta cheese, all tossed in a tangy vinaigrette made with olive oil, lemon juice, and herbs like basil or oregano. Optional add-ins include grilled chicken, chickpeas, or avocado for added protein and creaminess. Fusilli Salad provides a good balance of carbohydrates from the pasta and nutrients from the vegetables, while olive oil contributes heart-healthy fats. However, the dish can be high in sodium due to the feta cheese and olives, so portion control or reduced-sodium options may be recommended for some individuals. Perfect as a light lunch or a picnic favorite, Fusilli Salad is both delicious and versatile, offering a combination of fresh flavors and wholesome ingredients.
