Ingredients

Scale
  • 8 ounces pasta (like rotini or penne)
  • 1 large cucumber, diced
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved

Instructions

  1. Cook the pasta by bringing a big pot of salted water to a boil, adding your pasta, and cooking according to package instructions until al dente (about 8-10 minutes).
  2. Prep the veggies by dicing the cucumber, halving the cherry tomatoes, and slicing the red onion.
  3. Make the dressing by whisking together olive oil, red wine vinegar, oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper in a small bowl.
  4. Combine the cooked pasta with the diced cucumber, halved tomatoes, and sliced onions in a large mixing bowl.
  5. Dress the pasta and veggies with the dressing, tossing gently to coat.
  6. Add the crumbled feta cheese and mix gently.

Notes

This salad can be made ahead of time; just add the feta just before serving for maximum freshness.
