Lemon Penne Mediterranean Salad


When spring arrives, it starts becoming salad time for dinner in our house.  Tonight on the menu is a nice light salad with just enough ingredients to make it filling and full of flavor.  If you want to add protein you can always add some grilled shrimp or chicken.  If you don't like goat cheese, feta cheese will also work nicely.

6 oz. penne pasta, cooked and drained, then cooled
2 c. asparagus, steamed and cooled
2 c. spinach leaves
1/4 c. chopped red onion
2 c. cherry tomatoes
1 c. diced cucumber
1/2 c. cubed goat cheese or feta cheese
Toss together all ingredients with dressing and serve.

Dressing:
1/3 c. olive oil
2 T. red wine vinegar
2 T. water
2 T. lemon juice
salt and pepper
Whisk together well.
