Ingredients
For the salad
- 8 ounces dry pasta such as cavatappi, penne or rotini
- 1 1/2 cups cucumber diced
- 1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes halved
- 1/4 cup red onion minced
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1/3 cup kalamata olives
- 1/2 cup crumbled Feta cheese plus more for garnish
- 1/4 cup chopped parsley plus more for garnish
For the dressing
- 6 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
For the salad
- Prepare the pasta in salted boiling water according to package directions. Cool the pasta by running cold water over it in a colander.
- Place the cucumbers, tomatoes, pepper, red onion, olives, parsley and feta cheese in a large bowl.
For the dressing
- In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, vinegar, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, oregano, garlic powder, salt and pepper.
- Add the pasta to the bowl with the vegetables.
- Pour the dressing over the top and toss to coat thoroughly. Serve, sprinkled with more parsley and feta cheese if desired.
Notes
- For this salad, any short pasta will work. I used cavatappi pasta, but other great choices are penne, macaroni, farfalle, fusilli or rotini.
- This salad will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to 3 days in an airtight container.
- Rinse your cooked pasta in cold water to keep it from sticking together when you make the salad. This also helps to cool it off before you add the rest of the ingredients.
