This recipe is everything I love about Greek salads (cucumbers, feta cheese, onions…) except in pasta form!
The dressing for the salad is simple to put together, but if you’re really in a pinch for time, toss the ingredients with some Italian dressing instead.
Ingredients
- 1 medium tomato, diced
- 1 cucumber, diced
- 1/2 red onion, diced
- 1 cup crumbled feta cheese
- 1/2 lb cooked bowtie pasta, cooled
- dressing:
- 1 tbsp white vinegar
- 2/3 cup extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
- salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tsp Greek seasoning (it includes oregano and dill, so if you don't have Greek seasoning, feel free to make up your own taste)
Directions
- Add the tomato, cucumber, red onion, feta cheese, and pasta to a large bowl.
- Add the ingredients for the dressing in a small bowl and whisk until smooth.
- Pour the dressing over the vegetable and pasta mixture and toss to combine.
- Store in an airtight container in the fridge.

Whether you have one kid or five kids, when it comes to extracurricular activities, it can really add up. We all want our kids to be stimulated emotionally and physically, and things like music lessons or sports leagues have a lot of value in teaching kids important life skills.
Even if you limit each child to only one activity, it can eat up a lot of your budget. Here are all my tips for how to save on activities for kids. The key is: ask around and get creative! You never know who might be willing to offer their expertise.
How to Save on Activities for Kids
Online Deals and Coupons
Websites like Groupon and LivingSocial often offer deals and discounts on various activities and lessons for kids. You can find discounted rates for things like art classes, sports activities, music lessons, and more.
Membership Discounts
Check if any memberships you already have offer discounts on kids’ activities. This could include memberships to museums, zoos, or local community centers. Our local zoo offers kids classes for only $12 to members!
Local Community Programs
Many local community centers, libraries, and parks and recreation departments offer affordable or even free activities and lessons for kids. These can include sports leagues, art classes, STEM workshops, and more. With sports, for example, joining a rec or church league will be considerably less expensive than a more serious sports league. Especially for younger kids, these options tend to focus more on building skills and have much less pressure and require less time commitment.
Seasonal Promotions
Keep an eye out for seasonal promotions and sales. Many businesses that offer kids’ activities and lessons may have special offers during certain times of the year, such as back-to-school season or holidays. Sometimes there may be times when they offer free classes for a trial period, which is a great way to try things out before spending money on them.
