Greek Pasta Salad with Lemon Herb Tahini Dressing

It is full on pasta salad season and I am here for it!  This Greek Pasta Salad with Lemon Herb Tahini Dressing is packed with so many yummy things like cherry tomatoes, cucumber, chicken, pickled onion and feta cheese.   Then I made a lemon herb tahini dressing that is so tasty and coats each piece of pasta beautifully.  This makes an awesome big batch of pasta salad that is great to meal prep for the week or have for a family BBQ.  You can totally use brown rice pasta, lentil pasta, chickpea pasta, etc, but those swaps are usually best when you make it fresh and not when made ahead.  I used President Feta in this recipe and it is so delicious!

So now you know whats for lunch this weekend!!
