Ingredients
  

  • For the Pasta Salad
  • 12 oz short pasta shells, rotini, or penne
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes halved
  • 1 cup cucumber diced
  • ⅓ cup red onion finely sliced
  • ½ cup Kalamata olives sliced
  • ¾ cup feta cheese crumbled
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tablespoon fresh dill chopped
  • For the Greek Dressing
  • ⅓ cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons red wine vinegar
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • ½ teaspoon dried oregano
  • ½ teaspoon salt adjust to taste
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

  1. Cook pasta in well-salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse briefly with cool water.
  2. Transfer pasta to a large bowl and drizzle lightly with olive oil to prevent sticking.
  3. Add tomatoes, cucumber, red onion, olives, feta, parsley, and dill to the bowl.
  4. In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, red wine vinegar, garlic, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  5. Pour dressing over pasta mixture and toss gently until everything is evenly coated.
  6. Cover and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to blend.

Notes

  • Shell pasta works especially well because it holds the dressing.
  • For variation, add sautéed mushrooms, broccoli florets, or grilled chicken.
  • Taste and adjust salt just before serving, as pasta absorbs seasoning over time.
