Mediterranean Pasta Salad

Step 1

Place pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water. Cook until al dente & according to package directions (about 9-10 minutes). Rinse under cold water to stop cooking , then drain well. Set aside.

Step 2

In a medium bowl, whisk all the dressing ingredients together. Adjust flavors as needed. It might taste a little tangy or salty, but it will be spread over a pound of pasta, so keep that in mind.

Step 3

Add the pasta, onion, cucumber, tomatoes, olives, artichokes, vegan feta, pine nuts, and basil in a large bowl. Pour the dressing over everything and gently toss to combine. Taste for seasoning and adjust as needed. Top with more vegan feta, basil and fresh-cracked pepper if preferred. Serve immediately.
