Ingredients

12 servings

16 ounces rotini (or any medium pasta shape)
1 medium English cucumber (chopped)
1 pint grape tomatoes (halved)
1 small bell pepper (any color, chopped)
¼ cup finely diced red onion (or sliced green onions)
1 cup Italian dressing (or homemade dressing in the notes)
¼ cup sliced black olives (optional)
3 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
⅔ cup crumbled feta cheese (or to taste)
salt and black pepper (to taste)

Steps

In a large pot, boil pasta in salted water until al dente (firm) according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold water to cool.
Meanwhile, chop the cucumber, grape tomatoes, bell pepper, and red onions.
In a large bowl, combine your cooked and cooled pasta, prepared vegetables, Italian dressing, sliced olives (if using), and fresh parsley. Toss well to coat.
Season with salt and pepper to taste and gently stir in feta cheese.
Refrigerate for at least 2 hours before serving to allow the flavors to blend and the pasta to soak in the dressing.
