Make Ahead Greek Pasta Salad

This is my favorite pasta salad. It is called "Make Ahead Greek Pasta Salad" because you really do need to make it ahead. This is best served after having chilled for 24 hours. It is a simple and oh so flavorful salad that is great as a side dish or even as a meal. Note: if you don't like vinaigrette type dressings, then you will not like this salad because the vinegar taste really comes through (Which is what gives this pasta a great kick and Greek flavor). I love it!
