Prep Time
25 mins
Servings: 6 people
Course: Side Dish
Cuisine: Mediterranean

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces short pasta (I used ditalini but you can use orzo, elbow, or farfalle)
  • 1 cup English cucumber, halved and sliced (I like to slightly peel mine and leave some skin on for color)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 /2 cup sliced red onion
  • 1/2 /2 cup sliced kalamata olives
  • 4 ounces feta, crumbled (more for serving)
  • 1/4 /4 cup Italian parsley, finely chopped
DRESSING:
  • 1/4 /4 cup olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 /2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 /2 teaspoon crushed red pepper
  • salt and pepper to taste (I use about 1 teaspoon kosher salt and 1/2 teaspoon pepper)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Cook pasta according to package directions in salted water. Drain and cool.
  2. In a large bowl, add the cooled pasta, cucumbers, tomatoes, onion, olives, feta, and parsley. Stir together.
  3. For the dressing: whisk together all ingredients. Pour over pasta salad. I like to pour about 1/2 over and chill for 30 minutes or until serving. Then I pour the remaining dressing right before serving. The pasta soaks up the dressing. Add more feta when serving if desired.
