A delightful twist on the classic pasta salad, featuring fresh Mediterranean flavors and a zesty dressing.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water.
Rinsing the pasta with cold water stops the cooking process and prevents it from sticking together.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cooked pasta, cherry tomatoes, red bell pepper, cucumber, black olives, red onion, and parsley.
Ensure all vegetables are evenly distributed for a balanced flavor in every bite.
In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, lemon juice, minced garlic, oregano, salt, and black pepper to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference before mixing it with the salad.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss gently to combine.
Toss the salad gently to avoid breaking the pasta or crushing the vegetables.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving.
Chilling the salad allows the flavors to meld together for a more delicious taste.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serve the salad in a decorative bowl to enhance its visual appeal.
