Mediterranean Pasta Salad

Ingredients

• 1 lb short pasta (fusilli or penne)
• 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
• 1 cucumber, diced
• 1/2 cup Kalamata olives
• 150g feta, cubed
• 1/4 red onion, finely sliced
• 1/3 cup olive oil
• 3 tbsp red wine vinegar
• 1 tsp dried oregano
• Salt and black pepper

Instructions

1. Cook the pasta

   Boil the pasta in well-salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse briefly under cool water to stop the cooking.

2. Dress it warm

   While the pasta is still warm, toss it with the olive oil, vinegar, oregano, salt, and pepper so it absorbs the dressing.

3. Add the vegetables

   Fold in the tomatoes, cucumber, olives, and red onion.

4. Finish with feta

   Add the feta, toss gently, and chill at least 30 minutes before serving.
