Ingredients:
  • For the lemon olive oil dressing:
  • 1/3 cup fresh squeezed lemon juice (from 2 to 3 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons finely chopped parsley
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh oregano (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

  • For the pasta salad:
  • 1 pound rotini pasta, or other pasta shape of your choice
  • 1/2 small red onion, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 1 red pepper, finely diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 1 cucumber, quartered and sliced
  • 1/4 cup parsley, roughly chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
  • Cook the pasta: Boil heavily salted water, add the pasta, and cook until al dente. Rinse in cold water until cool. Drain.
  • Prepare onion slices by submerging them in a bowl of cold water with a pinch of salt. Let them soak for 10 minutes before draining.
  • Prepare the dressing by combining all ingredients in a lidded jar. Shake well and adjust seasonings to your liking.
  • Combine the cooled pasta, red onion, peppers, tomatoes, olives, feta, cucumber, and parsley in a large bowl. Gently toss with 1/4 cup of lemon olive oil dressing, adding more as needed.
