1/4 cup red onion, thinly sliced and chopped
3 tablespoons red wine vinegar
3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
16 ounces grape tomatoes, halved (about 2 cups)

Steps

Cook the pasta according to directions, removing from the heat and rinsing immediately with cold water until the pasta is cool. Set the pasta aside in the colander to drain.
Place the onions in a large mixing bowl dish and cover with the olive oil and vinegar. Let rest while preparing the rest of the vegetables. Add the tomatoes, olives, peppers, pasta, and cheese to the bowl with the onions.
Toss well to coat thoroughly. Season generously with salt and pepper. Taste and add more salt and pepper as needed. Refrigerate until ready to serve.
