Ingredients

  • 1 cup dry pasta, rotini or penne - you can use whole grain if you wish

For the dressing

  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar

Instructions

For the salad
    Cup of Yum
  1. Boil the pasta as instructed and drain. If pre-boiling pasta, add a bit of olive oil after boiling, so the pasta does not stick together.
  2. In a large bowl add the pasta, tomatoes, cucumber, olives and capers and gently mix.
  3. Add the dressing and sprinkle over the oregano, toss the salad.
  4. Sprinkle the feta and gently toss again and serve.
Dressing
  1. In a small bowl mix the with a fork the olive oil and vinegar (it should thicken)

Notes

  • * Salt in not needed as the olives, capers and feta already have salt.
