Step 1

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions. Once the pasta is cooked, drain it and immediately rinse it with cold water. Drain again.

Step 2

While the pasta is cooking, proceed with the rest of the recipe.

Step 3

Combine the salad dressing ingredients in a large mixing bowl (you will also use the same bowl for pasta salad). Whisk with a fork until emulsified.

Step 4

To the same large bowl with the salad dressing, add sliced cherry tomatoes, quartered cucumber slices, diced bell pepper, red onion, and olives. Mix the dressing thoroughly with the veggies. Let them marinate while the pasta is cooking. The tomatoes should release juices.

Step 5

Add drained and rinsed pasta and crumbled feta cheese to the bowl with marinated veggies. Toss to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Add more lemon juice if desired.
