When it’s hot outside I love cooling food. And nothing is better than a cool pasta salad. This Mediterranean pasta salad is a refreshing dish that brings the flavors of the Mediterranean to your table. Perfect for a light lunch, a picnic, or a side dish, this salad combines al dente pasta with fresh vegetables, tangy feta cheese, and a zesty homemade dressing.

You will always find recipes here on my site because to me food is very healing. And although I’m not a kitchen witch, I do use a lot of kitchen witchery in my practice. There is nothing like creating a meal with love and infusing it with powerful intentions!

This salad is packed with fresh ingredients like cherry tomatoes and cucumbers that you may even be able to pick fresh from your garden! It’s a colorful and satisfying meal that’s as easy to make as it is delicious.

So let’s talk about the magickal properties of some of the herbs in this dish. The fresh parsley, oregano, and basil are all known to be very protective. So this is a great dish to make if you’ve had to deal with an angry boss or if someone is mad at you. It can definitely help protect you from those energies. Basil is also known for helping to draw in prosperity. Just be sure to set your intention while fixing this meal.

You can easily make this pasta salad gluten-free! Just substitute your favorite gluten-free pasta in place of wheat pasta. Need a dairy-free version? Look for feta cheese that has been made from goat or sheep milk instead. Or opt for fresh goat cheese.

Hi, I’m Kathy, and I’m your not-so-average, neuro-sparkly, eclectic witch. I’ve found myself in midlife, peeling away the masks that decades of social conditioning taught me. I’m on a journey of self-discovery as I reclaim who I was always meant to be. This channel is about my life, and so I’ll be looking at lots of different subjects…like ADHD, magic, manifestation, energy, spiritual awakening, empowerment, healing, and so much more! I believe a magical life is a life well-lived! Join me on my journey!
