    Ingredients

    Fresh spinach- we like to use fresh baby spinach for this recipe, it gives a rich fresh spinach flavor for this recipe, plus, it's extremely healthy! Normal spinach will work as well.

    Pasta- use any kind of your favorite pasta, we used Farfalle pasta.

    Cherry tomatoes- cherry tomatoes add a delicious sweet and sour taste to this salad.

    Red onion- we think that red onion fits best for this recipe, plus, it adds a beautiful color. A yellow onion will work as well.

    Olive oil- to make the salad dressing, we used olive oil. Canola oil or vegetable oil will work as well.

    Lemon juice- squeeze fresh lemon and add it to the dressing.

    Fresh garlic- we used grated garlic for the dressing.

    Spices- for spices, we used kosher salt and black pepper.

    Feta cheese- we like to top our pasta salad with feta cheese.
