Instructions

1. Prepare the Pasta Chips

Cook the pasta in salted water until al dente. Drain and allow it to dry slightly.

2. Season the Pasta

Toss the cooked pasta with olive oil, grated Parmesan, oregano, salt, and black pepper until evenly coated.

3. Crisp the Pasta

Spread the pasta in a single layer in the air fryer basket. Cook at 400°F (200°C) for 8–10 minutes, shaking halfway through, until golden and crispy. Set aside to cool.

4. Prepare the Salad

In a large bowl, combine the cherry tomatoes, cucumbers, green bell pepper, Kalamata olives, soaked red onion, pepperoncini peppers, and feta cheese.

5. Add the Pasta Chips

Once cooled, add the crispy pasta chips to the salad bowl.

6. Make the Dressing

In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, dried oregano, sea salt, and black pepper.

7. Toss the Salad

Pour the dressing over the salad ingredients and gently toss until everything is evenly coated.

8. Serve

Serve immediately while the pasta chips remain crisp.

Notes

Soaking the red onion in water helps reduce its sharp bite while keeping it crisp.

If you prefer a traditional Greek salad, omit the pasta chips.

Add grilled chicken, shrimp, or chickpeas to make it a complete meal.

Fresh herbs like basil or parsley add extra brightness.

Store pasta chips separately to maintain their crunch.
