A vibrant and flavorful pasta salad with Mediterranean-inspired ingredients, perfect for any occasion.
Cook the pasta according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and let it cool.
Rinse the pasta with cold water to stop the cooking process and cool it down quickly.
Chop the onion, tomatoes, cucumber, and bell pepper into bite-sized pieces.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and preserve the vegetables' texture.
In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, vinegar, and oregano to make the dressing.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference.
Combine the cooked pasta, chopped vegetables, olives, and feta cheese in a large mixing bowl.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid breaking the pasta or crumbling the cheese too much.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature. Enjoy your Mediterranean Pasta Salad!
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or basil for an extra touch of flavor.
