Instructions

  1. Bring a large pot of well-salted water to a boil over high heat. Cook the pasta until al dente, according to the package directions. Drain the pasta.
  2. Drain the sun-dried tomatoes and pour the oil into a large serving bowl. Add the lemon zest, lemon juice, honey, mustard, oregano, salt, and pepper and whisk until emulsified. Add the red onions and allow them to marinate in the dressing while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
  3. Transfer the pasta on top of the dressing with the onions. Add the reserved sun-dried tomatoes, chickpeas, spinach, and olives. Toss to combine and sprinkle with feta cheese right before serving.

Notes

  • Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last about 4-5 days in the fridge.
  • Substitutes: For best results, follow the recipe as is. Since it's a salad though, the ingredients and measurements are just guidelines, so feel free to adjust. To make this gluten-free, use any type of gluten-free pasta you'd like and cook it al dente.
