This Mediterranean-inspired pasta salad is a delightful blend of fresh vegetables, tangy feta, and a zesty dressing, perfect for a light meal or side dish.
Cook the pasta in a large pot of salted boiling water until al dente, then drain and let it cool.
Rinse the pasta with cold water after draining to stop the cooking process and cool it quickly.
Chop the cherry tomatoes, cucumber, and red onion into bite-sized pieces.
Use a sharp knife to ensure clean cuts and maintain the vegetables' texture.
In a mixing bowl, whisk together the olive oil, juice of the lemon, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Taste the dressing and adjust the seasoning to your preference before mixing it with the salad.
Combine the cooked pasta, chopped vegetables, black olives, and crumbled feta cheese in a large bowl.
Gently toss the ingredients to avoid breaking the pasta or crumbling the feta too much.
Pour the dressing over the salad and toss to coat evenly.
Let the salad sit for a few minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Serve the salad chilled or at room temperature, garnished with a sprig of fresh oregano if desired.
Pair the salad with a slice of crusty bread for a complete meal.
