A vibrant and flavorful pasta salad with a Mediterranean twist, perfect for any occasion.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of boiling salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
Rinsing the pasta with cold water stops the cooking process and cools it down for the salad.
In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled pasta with the chopped bell peppers, shredded carrots, and parsley.
Chop the vegetables into uniform sizes for even distribution and a better presentation.
Pour the vinaigrette over the pasta and vegetable mixture. Toss well to coat evenly.
Use a zesty vinaigrette for a tangy flavor that complements the vegetables.
Gently fold in the crumbled feta cheese, ensuring it is evenly distributed.
Add the cheese last to prevent it from breaking apart too much during mixing.
Cover the salad and refrigerate for at least an hour before serving to let the flavors meld.
Chilling the salad enhances the flavors and makes it more refreshing.
Serve the salad chilled, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
Serve in a colorful bowl to highlight the vibrant ingredients.
