Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/3 cup lemon juice, freshly squeezed (about 2 to 3 lemons)
  • 1 tablespoon lemon zest
  • 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons parsley, finely chopped
  • 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh oregano (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1 pound rotini pasta or pasta shape of your choice
  • 1/2 small red onion, quartered and thinly sliced
  • 1 red bell pepper, finely diced
  • 1 pint cherry tomatoes, halved
  • 1/2 cup pitted Kalamata olives
  • 1/2 cup crumbled feta
  • 1 large cucumber, quartered and sliced
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Cook Your Pasta: Begin by bringing a large pot of salted water to a rolling boil. Once boiling, add your rotini pasta and cook according to the package instructions until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
  2. Make the Zesty Dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together the freshly squeezed lemon juice, lemon zest, chopped garlic, finely chopped parsley, olive oil, oregano (if using), salt, and pepper.
  3. Combine Your Ingredients: In a large serving bowl, toss the cooled pasta with cherry tomatoes, sliced red onion, diced bell pepper, Kalamata olives, cucumber, and crumbled feta. Pour the dressing over the salad and mix gently.
  4. Chill and Serve: Cover the salad and let it chill in the refrigerator for at least an hour before serving.

Notes

For best flavor, always use fresh lemons. Feel free to swap out vegetables based on your preference.
