Ingredients
Salad
- 8 ounces bowtie pasta
- 1 1/2 cups grape tomato sliced in half
- 1 cucumber sliced into half-circles, English variety
- 1 green bell pepper diced
- 1/2 onion diced, small; red variety
- 1/2 cup kalamata olives drained
- 2/3 cup feta cheese crumbed or cubed
- 1/4 cup parsley chopped, fresh
Vinaigrette
- 1/2 cup olive oil
- 1/4 cup water
- 3 Tablespoons red wine vinegar
- 2 Tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 Tablespoons honey
- 1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 1 teaspoon oregano dried
- 1 teaspoon dill dried
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
Instructions
- Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the pasta according to the package directions for al dente pasta. Drain well and rinse with cold water.
- While the pasta cooks, chop the vegetables and add them to a large bowl.
- Combine all of the dressing ingredients in a jar with a lid and shake well.
- Add the rinsed and drained pasta to the bowl with the vegetables, olives, feta cheese, and parsley. Pour the dressing over the salad, tossing to coat everything evenly.

Notes
- Storage: This pasta salad keeps well for 3-5 days in the fridge, although you might want to reserve some of the dressing to add later since the pasta absorbs quite a bit of the dressing over time.
- Al dente pasta: Be sure not to overcook the pasta. Not only will it turn mushy, but it will also absorb more of the dressing if it is overdone. Just follow the package directions for al dente pasta, then drain immediately once it's done.
- Add a protein: Make more of a meal out of this by adding some chopped, grilled chicken and grilled shrimp to it.
